Can't claim is better but look at the cost of Howe's I've used it an not had any problems and I can buy it cheaper then I can power service. Do you have a Mills Fleet Farm near buy that is where I buy my Howe's at.

I run Power Service in my truck in the wintertime. I live in Northern MN. Where I usually get fuel, you dont have a choice what fuel you get. One pump that says "Diesel Fuel." They do have a sign with the dates and the temps that the fuel is good till.

The Power Service Diesel Supplement has always worked great for me. Only use it every now and then though. I usually run mixed #1 and #2. Ratio depends on how cold it is.
