Anybody else notice that ULSD seems to be less foamy?

I don't know if was the B20 or what, but my mileage on the Smarty econ setting sucks. Going down to Houston for the DHRA event, with the EZ on 2 and the Smarty on 4, I got 19.9. Coming back with no EZ, Smarty on 1 (econo) and B20, I only got 19.3. ????? It's on #5 now with no EZ and 20 fresh gal of #2 in it. Maybe this tank will tell me something.

Also, awhile back, I ran two tanks of B10 from Loves and saw a slight drop in mileage and power. I run Power Service or Synergen 20+ Cetane in every tank.

With no disrespect meant for your garnd dad at all, that generation ate tons of fat, smoked like heck, didn't wear seat belts until the 60's, and lived to be 65.

Times change my friend.
