-Truck idle's smoother, less rattle
-Truck doesn't seem to labor as much while pulling a hill, grade.
-Maybe a little more smoke
-And I've got 165 miles on 1/4 tank of fuel, city and highway driving.

So far so good. I'll keep everyone posted.

What made you add oil to the oil your already burning? Just curious.

Because some guys around here are doing it, with nothing but good reports, so I figured I'd try it. But, my main concern is the low sulfur diesel thats out, coming out, Vp's are expensive to replace. So i'm just trying to prevent a problem before it happens. The 2-stroke adds the lubriticity back/extra into the fuel to help condition the Vp, seals & injectors.

Yes I am interested to, If I were going to use something like Quick Silver Marine or Pennzoil Marine what would be the mix. I currently use marvel mystery oil 16oz at every fill up.

I've added 1qt @ the last fill, 18 gallons. Some add 1-2qts from what I've read. I'm going to stay with 1 for now and continue my testing.

Yes you read that right. Gallons. My intown milage is a little rough but I just got 17.65 MPG last tank. That was 300 miles at 75-80 MPH and 200 miles intown on my 6 mile comute to work. That also includes 2 days of ideling the truck 5-10 minutes to see out the windshield before leaving. That was with 1 gallon of used oil. I typically run 2 gallons per tank when I have it. When I dont I add 1/3 a quart of power service white bottle.
For those that are curious this is only on the old truck. The new one gets power service white bottle in the same ratio and I am going to try adding MM oil the next couple of tanks. I dont feel like taking a chance on the warrenty being denied although I see no problems mechanically in doing so.

OK, two tanks with 2 cycle oil and powerservice, white bottle- no mpg change but its quieter.
More smoke @ lighter throttle on top of an already WOT-BCD setup so I am not sure I'll continue this after this gallon is gone.
Quiet is nice but its not that much quieter.
