Has anyone used the Lucas Fuel Treatment on their MDS Hemi? I have used it on my older 5.7 Grand Cherokee and I experienced a 2 MPG increase. This considering that the top speed where I am at is 25mph.
Seafoam is great stuff - 0 chance to get 2mpg improvement simply with fuel treatment...
Grand Cherokee went from 12.5 to 14.5. F-350 Diesel gained 0.5 to 1 mpg. This was verified by hand. over time.
Just checking to see if there wold be any problem using it with the MDS engine.
The fuel treatment can help on higher mileage vehicles that have clogged injectors, ect. On new low mile vehicles you will not see an increase. I do not plan to start anything like that until 15K, at which point in time a treatment every oil change.

Yep, use it all the time. Helps counteract the California reformulated gas that lowers your mpg and keeps the fuel system clean. Worth every penny IMO.

Ya thats about right. I would get 1-2mpg increase in a 03 6.0 F-350 towing a loaded 30ft Weekend Warrior out to the desert everytime.
I run it in my 2000HP Super Duper Blown Nitrous Harley Drag Racer when I take it to the strip and I've noticed a 1000% increase in MPG's and my engines last 300,000 miles now between rebuilds!! I'm thinking I might start running it in my Leer-Jet and see if I can make it to the moon!!
