Figured id let everyone know and see if any one was interested in better MPG

Why has no one questioned whether or not this joker smokes weed? No offense, err, actually, offense meant. Why on earth would you recomend adding 2 quarts of oil every time you fill up (the gas tank?) and mixing 2 quarts of tranny fluid in each oil change?

Either I'm confused or you're stupid. What truck has that kind of oil capacity? I am the first to admit that i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but this sounds just plain ignorant.

There, I filled in the missing part of the story ;

"I went from 15 mpg on the highway to 18 mph tops just by adding 2 cheap quarts of engine oil on ever fill up and 2 quarts of tranny fluid every oil change with engine oil."

Good luck with that. I also own a trucking company, and we use to fill the fuel filter with motor oil every time we changed the fuel filter. I think I would rather use FT-10 and get-r-done right. Motor oil wont do anything for bacteria growth in your tank.
