my dad ran a tank of farm fuel today in his 2002 7.3, which had been getting a miserable 14 mpg mixed driving! today he ran farm fuel and it checked a legitamate 22 MPG, mostly highway running 70-75

also, to get that big a jump in economy is almost unheard of, i have run the ulsd (15ppm) and changed to 5000 ppm offroad and maybee seen a 3 mpg increase at best. the biggest difference is smoke output, the 5000 is nice for that. if he is getting that big a jump in economy then he needs to change his on road supplier

black smoke output increased with the old 5000 ppm offroad fuel, and even running the 500 ppm you see a little increase

Price jumped to 4.20 at the pump and 3.75 for HHO. Lokks like I am going to have to get a second job. Or drive the car and burn a lot more firewood.
Is HHO and off road the same thing? Red dye?

iv been running 1/2 qt of 2 stroke oil per tank for about 4 fillups now, seems to do a good job at making up for low sulfer fuel. i havent checked my acual fuel millage numbers but it seems to be doing a bit better and it quieted down the engin some. seems like a much better alternitive if you end up having your tanks diped
