I rounded up a few things that may help get better MPG: EGR failure (waitng on dealer for parts), + .5MPG 2.5" muffler, +.5MPG 44PSI tires, +1.5MPG cetane additive, - 1MPG full time 4x4, - .5MPG Cheap B20 Biodiesel, - 1.5MPG based on the average of 20 tanks with a '06 CRD. hope this helps! |

What fuel Cetane booster were you using? -1 mpg??? I use Power server occasional and may not see much of an increase but my experiance hasn't been a step backwards. I did change over to BF Goodrich TA KO's load range D and run them about 40 PSI seemed to be good for 1 or 2 mpg. |

8-10 oz of powerservice antigel & cetane boost mixed with about 15 gallons diesel. I think that's between the min and max treatment. I do have the regular PS cetane boost to try when I run out of the other stuff. |

I do have the regular PS cetane boost to try when I run out of the other stuff. The anti-gel Powerserve only boost the cetane by 3 but the regular Powerserve boosts the cetene as much as six. Personally I think that all of fuel economy will get better when they quit selling the winter blend fuel. Now that I have 16k miles and the engine is starting to break the fuel economy should be in the upper twenty's. |

They started to change the blend in Minnesota for the warmer weather. My mileage has gone up about 2 mpg with the last fill up. I am getting about 21 mpg in town. |

I'm up to 17.5 in town now with the better blend up here in Superior Wisconsin. Running my Predator seems to be good for 1 mpg. |
