mpg

Well I now have 400 mpg on my truck. By hand calculations I got 15.2 city and 22.45 highway. I used summer diesel (or that is what the clerk said it was) and Power Services diesel supplement (mainly to get rid of water but increases certane by 6 pts).

Nice truck, I have similar in a F-350, but different color and long bed. Mine has about 500 miles now and I got ~14.9 city (hand calculated earlier, but can't find the reciept right now) on the first tank. I hope I can get the same type of mileage you're getting on the highway.

Yes..
the power service will help your fuelage AND quiet down the "hammer" in our engine...
AND help your acceleration... (but not all three at the same time :-)
I just wonder about the cost effectiveness of it... I only put it in periodically, not every tank...
Even at wally world is adds to the cost per gallon of your fuel...

Well, I figure it is $5 per container (at autozone) and each container treats 100-gal. So that basically adds $0.05 per gal. I use it mainly to help reduce the water in the fuel than anything else. I only drive about 500 miles a month, mostly all in one weekend.
