I just recently changed to using Opti-Lube fuel additive with every fill up. I had been using Power Service in the grey bottle. I changed due to things that I read in here. I saw a 3/4 to 1 mpg increase in my fuel mileage after the second use and it continues. My engine runs much quieter as well, even my wife noticed how quiet it is.

I have run only one load since the nitrogen went in the tires. It was a light load, #800. I ran between 55 and 64 mph. When I filled up today I had 558 miles showing. I also ran my APU for about 10 hours. I put in 55.03 gallons. That works out to 10.1 mpg. Not bad. I am not sure about the nitrogen and the fuel mileage since it was such a light load. Todays load is #3000. We shall see. I was getting 9.5 to 10 with just the Opti-Lube before I put in the nigrogen and without running the APU. I will keep everyone posted. Layoutshooter

I had to order it on line, don't think it is sold over the counter. I ordered 1 gallon of summer mix and 2 gallons of the winter. Yes Moot, it is great for tired eyes and constipation. A shot with your coffee cures all !!!! HEHEHEHE Just kidding. Layoutshooter

On the #3000 run I got 9.47mpg. That included 4 hours on the APU, two hours running around in heavy traffic from gate to gate looking for a delivery that no one knew where it was going too and 6 hours idling after the *&^*&*%$ APU quit working AGAIN!!! Layoutshooter
