so normal mileage per tank on #2 is 360-420 mile on 27 gallons. first tank i got 408. more mileage maybe not. but this tank was all local driving within 20 miles of my house. last tank i got 430. still mostly local driving. with a few 70-80 mile trips. this tank will take me to vegas. only 30 miles on it so far. ill keep you posted. . seems to me it has been better on the mileage. |

Kind of like myself...
I've been data logging my fuel for the last 5 years (2 years of 2 cycle oil). 2002 Cummins As for BIO Diesel its been measure at low BTU's that normal #2 Petroluem diesel. There is a slight reduction of power. But the lubricity is much better for the fuel system. BTU's Not to argue just to post facts and information...:U: |

You just have to be careful telling the world about your fuel mileage because if you are getting better mileage then you are the exception and we should explore why so that more can benefit. If you're not then you're just giving other false hope and they might run out and do something that they'll regret later. Just my $.02. Glad your happy with the bio. Keep us posted. |
well,,,,,,,,i did dyno w/ b20 and gained 1 rwhp and 3 rwtq :D
twas a surprise |
Mopar man I like your spread sheet. I have almos the same thing with all other costs added in too. My MPG is very similar, maybe a little higher since I feather foot all the time. I run 80 psi in the tires so mpg is a bit better. It rides like the truck it is. haha This winter has been a real killer as we have had many days well below 0F.
My over all MPG is 19.2 now for the last 2 years. Lost my earlier data due to computer crash. The Smarty and the tonneau cover more or less made up for the mpg reduction with the ULSD. The Smarty really helps at 55-60 mph however. |

Well frankly NEITHER THE HELL DO I. You might want to reread my post before you start getting personal. Last time I checked the SOTP meter is BS and has no accuracy whatsoever so please provide evidence of what you say ie. data logging. Hearsay never proved a thing but data logging sure does.
so that being said. i still have not seen any short effect on mileage. maybe i got magic oil. in that case i want 10.000 dollars a gallon. im not here to sell my fuel. i will give a little away for someone to try. im not much of a person to log stuff. except when i do maintenence, brewing or monies. i will try to give as much info as i can. but i do way to much paperwork. and do not want to do anymore. i will run one more tank of 90% blend just to see if its just a fluke. then of to try to find a most efficient blend. when i do i will dino the truck. and wil be happy to post my findings. and want to try diffrent blends on the dino too. happy huntings and im off to avoid the sunshine for as long as possible. |
