LSD and 2 stroke oil

I decided to start running 2 stroke oil recently, just to see what the hype is about. A while back I found out a station thats near my place sells LSD instead of the ULSD. The gas station is less then a year old, so I doubt its just an old sticker on the pump. And I do notice my truck runs smoother with it and I get 1-2 mpg better, ive been "testing" for about 3 months now.

If it is LSD, is there any harm in running 2 stroke oil? I know most say to run 2 stroke because it replaces some lubricity thats lost with ULSD and so on... Just kinda curious

Im actually in RR, looks like you are too Its the station right next to the dell diamond on 79. Look on the pump, says LSD and "not for 2007-later vehicles"

I THINK I'm getting LSD at the station in Shepherd (no sticker saying ULSD as the Exxon station nearby has) and I run 16oz of Super Tech TCW-3 oil anyway with no problems.

It would KILL me if I lost 1-2 mpg by using ULSD!!!!

It can be just in my head, but I have kept track over months and the diesel at that station seems so much better. Im getting 16-18 in town, whereas with ULSD ive never got higher then 16.

When I run the LSD it acts like the B10 blends you can get around here. It just seems to run different

I got fuel at the Exxon at least once but I didn't note which fill up in the "bible" of my fuel usage. If it had been much off from what I was used to seeing I think I'd have noticed.

When I went from running the LSD to the new ULSD I had no change in mileage or power. I mostly run South and West of Austin and have not seen anything but ULSD for quite a while now.
