It has been a long time due to towing and driving style. But I finally squeezed out a 711 miles before refueling. That should yield almost 17mpg. I also spoke with a customer in the fuel business. He said the new ultra low sulfer diesel required by the govt is keeping fuel prices high. He said gasoline is down because they finally caught up with the supply/demand. He also said without the sulfur lubrication is going way down in the fuel. So is its ability to dissapate static charge. So I may start running a lubricant additive when the ultra low sulfur hits the pump I use. He said the plant is not adding a lube pkg to the product they are selling. Maybe the distribution hubs are adding one..
