My dad, who babies his cars, 10 minutes warm up, idle out of the neighborhood and never hard accelerations, was always told, "You gotta get out there and burn the gunk out". Maybe in your case, the injectors needed to have a hard flow of gas clean off the slight tarnish..
I'm a full believer of a small 'IV' drip of water in the intake on High mileage cars. I have felt teh cars improvement and have seen the crap that come out of the exhaust when doing that.
