Does super unleaded gasoline clean the engine?

All automotive gasolines have engine cleaners in them. "Super" gasoline is only used when your engine "koncks" (Makes a tapping noise) when you stamp on the gas pedal, especially going uphill. If your car manual says to use "Regular" gasoline, do so. "Super" burns quicker to eliminate knocking, but has less available power in it. FYI, diesel fuel has more power in it than gasoline does.
