with prices going thru the roof any minute increase is worth it. i havent checked mine yet but even if i break even with extra cost verses mpg gain, i will still use cause of benefits to motor that everybody is reporting.

I usually don't add any 'snake oil' stuff to my engine but I thought...What the heck it's only oil....in an oil burner.
I haven't checked my mileage yet but i expect it to be a little better because I noticed my boost level is lower than before at the same speed.

I make the same, dead flat, 120 mile run all the time and my boost is usually 6-7 psi @ 70MPH. After adding the 2 stroke oil it's only 4-5 psi at the same speed. That usually equates to better MPG's. I'll post my results later but it looks promising.

BTW: I just paid $4.55 here in MICH.
