opti-lube here, ~10oz per tank
no discernable increase or decrease in mileage but it did test 2nd best for lubrication behind 2% bio diesel in that independent lab test.
have yet to pull my egr, but soot buildup a factor of so many things (syn/dino, ulsd, idleing, etc)

My father tried acetone in his '06 D-Max for a bit, then ended going with the Power Service Diesel Kleen.
I have used Diesel Kleen (3oz/gal) since I bought the truck 2 years ago. I have 181K and still going strong...
You couldn't pay me to add oil to my fuel.

I use DK both colors for the appropriate season. I got a few bottles of Polar Power from a mechanic at work for winter use. I used some last winter with no ill affects, has anyone else used Polar Power? And how do you feel about it, I mean is it OK to use?
http://www.fppf.com/msds/msds_PolarP.pdf This is the MSDS on it, doesn't say anything about alchohol, but I'm no chemist. I'm not sure what the other chemicals are.

I happened into Howes when I was getting Rotella ELC, they are on the same road as the oil warehouse. so I got some. At least their 'Diesel Treat' comes with a 'no gell' towing warranty. I know they have been around a while and are sold at the big truckstops.

He probably meant 1oz/3 gal which is what it says on the back of the bottle. Thats what I add. Usually an 8 oz bottle when I fill at around 1/4 tank, 21 to 23 gal.

Most if not all of the Ford Diesel fuel products are made by a company in the Chicago area called Gold Eagle.
