Yes, the RUG thins out the oil and also produces a chemical change to the oil so that it does not 'string' when pushed through the injectors. This will help avoid coking of the injectors and rings. It's also a good idea to add a cetane booster to the mix to help smooth out the combustion process.
Gas has been a winter additive to diesel for decades. It helps to thin it out and prevent clouding in the cold.
I normally run about 20% #2, 75% WVO, and 5% Reg Unleaded. My truck still doesn't have the power it has with straight #2, but a lot more than it did with straight WVO. I do know that an old volkswagon diesel a friend of mine has recommends up to 20% gas mixed with the diesel in the winter, so obviously you can go up pretty high with it. I am considering switching from gas to just putting propane injection on my truck, but I'm not sure about it.

Do you have any proof that gas "produces a chemical change in the oil (sic Veg Oil)". I do not believe that is possible.

Why would it have to produce a chemical change, its not supposed to produce a change, just thin it down, gasoline is very thin, as opposed to veggie, which is extremely thick. It makes flow and filter better.
