Default Adding 2 stroke to a 6.7 good or bad?

I have read a lot on fuel additives and 2 stroke oil, but it refers mostly to the older trucks. I know the newer engines are built to use the ultra low sulfar fuel, but is it OK to use 2 stroke in the 6.7 for some extra lube or will it hurt it?

I started this thread because I have a stock 2010 (6.7) and I get 13 mpg with winter fuel (16 mpg summer fuel). I have had this 3 months and have over 18000 miles. I was told the 2 stroke would increase mileage. Any other Idea's on how to increase MPG feel free to throw those out as well! Do the Deltes work? Thanks for your help.

deletes will work wonders but you need a programmer to keep your truck running. Other wise just unplug the egr connection. you will get a soft code but it wont do harm. It should give you a few more mpgs
