..I run diesel.... occasionally gas when I make a dumbass move..

I invariably resemble that remark .. and have on more than one occasion...
As for adding an additive for lubricity/anti gelling and "what the hell - it feels like I should"

I use Power service DieselKleen; Grey and White gallon jugs (seasonal), mixed with a quart of 2 stroke per gallon. I'll typicallty add an O-Zee per fill. Better mileage..? never noticed.

Every other tank i throw in about 8oz of 2 stroke oil from wal-mart :D.. The 2 stroke really helps lube up the system and quiets things down.. About once every week or two I put Diesel kleen in it...

I thought you were putting water in your fuel when i first read your post and i was like WTF!!!, then i read the rest of your post, LOL!!! I usually keep Howes dieseltreat in my truck year round and poor some in when i think about it when filling up. I put in with every tank in the winter too keep from gelling.

Power Service Diesel Kleen. White bottle for winter blend, and silver bottle for summer blend. Yes, I get better mileage, enough to pay for itself. My DIC is off by .3 mpg. Six Gun set on 5.

That is some VERY good gas mileage especially for an LLY. Are you running stock size tires?

I use amsoil diesel concentrate and cetane in the winter I run diesel concentrate with cold flow improver.

It came with 245's, but when they expired at 51,000 I put on General Grabber HTS's in 265. Great tires! I run them at 72 all around. Aside from that, look at my signature and remember that I drive like an old lady. Even on the highway, in the 70 zone, I drive 64. Between 65 and 70, I lose 4 mpg's.

hmm how much 2 stroke.? I guess I use more than an ounce per tank of my mix...but that is likely only 5% 2 stroke in it. This has me thinking now that maybe I'm not mixing enough 2 stroke in my Power service stuff. Ok..we'll up the amount.! :D

I cant remember but i think i recall some one saying that the actual sulfur additive is awesome if you can find it but i cant remember which diesel additive thread it was in..
If you can find sulfur additive is it better then the rest or just stay with the diesel kleen or lucus?
