Hey Big Ken, Robert, Mike, how y'all doing this evening, I'm just sitting here watching a little TV, taking it easy, we had a nice rain the last couple of days, makes the grass grow, guess I will have to mow out at the farm in a couple of days.

Afternoon Robert and all the Louisianna members (and you too, Ken!). When are you heading home, Robert?

Hey Guys, y'all might think I'm blowing smoke with this post, but I'll do it anyway. I have been reading about diesel additives on the net, I have never beleived in them, but today I decieded to try some, the best the mileage monitor has ever showed in the past was 19.3, today I put 11 oz's of Lucas additive in the tank, I filled completley up. I made normal trip that I usually do. the moniter went all the way up to 21.1. I traveled 79.8 miles and it took 3.25 gals, so real mileage the way I figure is a whopping 24.5 mpg, has anyone else had this kind of results, or am I crazy or drunk or stupid or something. If it really is right Long Live Lucas, I will try it again later in the week and let you know what happens.

Hello all. Thanks for the warm welcome. I might have to try the Lucas myself. Last trip I made to Colorado, I hand calculated 17.2 and 18.5 for the first two tanks. I didn't even want to know what it was once I hit the mountains. That was keeping it between 70 and 75mph. But I guess that's not too bad for the old 7.3's.
