Fuel Additive(s)
I know most of us fall into one of four (4) groups:
1) Power Service
2) Stanadyne
3) Other
4) Nothing
To that end has anyone used or ever heard of:
Fuel Enhancer
<TABLE align=center><TBODY><TR><TD style="WIDTH: 360px" class=style9>Fuel Enhancer (FE)</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 360px" class=style9></TD><TD style="WIDTH: 360px" class=style9></TD></TR><TR><TD style="WIDTH: 360px" class=style10>
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Sorry,never heard of it but I do run the Motorcraft brand cetane booster (I've been told it's repackaged stanadyne but I don't know for sure) and I can tell a diff. in the sound of my truck using it. There is alot less "clack" when running it so it must be doing something. I have never compared fuel mileage with or without it so I can't say if it helps there but I believe in it.

Saying it increases MPGs 10% is great. I doubt anyone truly keeps consistent MPG numbers and methods to validate that claim.

I too want to know if this is real or not.
Need the fluid experts to chime in.

Considering the immense pressure all manufacturers are under to improve fuel economy.... if burning Oil of Olay will do 10% fuel economy improvement... it will be required fuel for the next year!
That kind of improvement is just not possible --- unless it is to mask / cover up / solve some other pre-existing defect.
e.g. sticky injectors, etc.
Car makers are now fighting over 1 to 2% gains from using thinner oil, higher tire pressures, thinner tires, etc.
They would just about kill for 10% from an additive.

I will take that as a good thing!?!?! Diesel Kleen can be had almost anywhere, including Wally World. And it is not too expensive for an additive that provides a cetane boost and lubricity. Cool, thanks.
