I was able to get 25mpg highway once running 65mph for the distance. And this is with the SMARTY set to level 5 and 8oz of PS DK/16oz of TCW3. So 27mpg may not be too far fetched under the right conditions.

Best test is to do a 5 fillup average to eliminate any unusual variables.

This is also an educated observation... I have noticed on this forum that no two trucks seem to be alike. Same year, same set up etc... The TCW3 is a perfect example... SOme trucks LOVE IT, run so quiet, etc.. others run rough, smoke and hate it.... Makes no sense but thats the way it is... MAYBE my truck for whatever reason loves the OPti Lube... A few others have reported similar findings on here. I Was simply giving my oipinion on MY FINDINGS... if you try it and it works.. GREAT, If not, WHo cares move on...

So, now it is an opinion you are giving??? If your truck truely gets 27 MPG and picked up 4.8-5.8MPG increase as you claim then it is now a FACT, not an opinion. It either does or does not get the MPG you claim, there is no OPINION on it


That is like me saying:

"Well, in my opinion, my truck SHOULD get 27MPG if I add Optilube, so that means I MUST get it, so I guess that I do"

This will get beat to death in both directions, so we'll just leave it at that. Read this thread and form your own opinion one way or the other.
