I'm going to against popular opinion here, but from my experience the answer is no. I think those types of additives are GREATLY overrated.
Just keep an eye on your sparkplugs and cables. Make sure you change the oil on time. Your car should run like a champ.

Injector cleaner is essential to ensure that the injectors do not become clogged. If they do, it can be an expensive operation to have them removed, cleaned and replaced.
I put a bottle of injector cleaner into every fourth tank of petrol, and my fuel consumption is a very good 9.5l/100k. (1988 NA Fairlane 3.9l)
An octane booster is only useful if your engine is tuned to run on it (a higher octane). Otherwise, it's just money out the exhaust.

fuel injector cleaner is good to use if you run your tank down to empty repeatedly. octane booster is a useless waste of money. try using premium gas, with a 91 octane rating or higher if possible,.
