My new fuel mix got me 21.5 for the first time
I have been doing my own little test for about 2 months. I do the same 85 mile R/t about once a week. This average was based on me reseting the overhead while on the downramp to the highway. It is 83 miles of highway and 2 miles off highway with no lights. Some hills are involved. I also set the cruise at 69 on I95 (35miles) and drove 55-60 no cruise on I93 (7 miles). So here are my findings. But they maybe flawed. I took my truck to the dealer and they adjusted the tranny. But I do not think it should matter. All of these were down with a new full tank of fuel for each new mixture
Power Service --19.2
Power Service w/MM 19.5
Marvel Mystery 18.8
FPPF Total Power 19.7
Power Service & FPPF 21.5
I have found my new mix tonight. I put in about 8 ounces of each. Truck ran quieter and smoother. KNow I know traffic and other things play into my studies. But I usually only run down at night. So the return is very light traffic and the way down is always around 8-9 pm. Plus my new found mileage was after a dealer visit that adjusted tranny.

You add 8 ounces of each what???? The Power Service and FPPF? And are these mileage claims based off of one 80+ mile trip??? If so, I can tell you that today my truck got 20.4 MPG with nothing more than driving 55-60 MPH because of extreme Fog and rain, and I have owned my truck for over a year and put almost 40K on it (122K and counting) and I normally get 17-18 MPG on the highway driving normal (70-75MPH)

The Ethyl Corporation strikes again!!
Although it is manufactured by many chemical companies under license, the Ethyl corp developed it. Remember the old days of "Ethyl leaded gas?" That was one of their best. Now we have the 2 ethyl-hexyl nitrate additive for Diesel engines.
Many of the secondary additive companies like FPPF use 2-ethyl-hexyl nitrate in their blends. 2EHN has been helping mileage in Diesel engines for years. It raises the cetane level and helps the autoignition time ( shortens it ) when conditions in the cylinder are cooler and less dense. Examples are empty trucks, slow engine speeds, etc. Under heavy boost and at higher RPM ranges, the additive effects are much less, because the heat available for autoignition is higher.
Higher mileage and easier starting is the result.
