Default tweaked the mix

Just returned from my trip to my parents. From Ft. Hood Texas to central La. (about 7 hrs drive), I averaged 17mpg. My speed was between 80 and 85 all the way and my wife packed everything, including the kitchen sink. The back seat and the bed was full. I changed the mix to 16oz MMO and 16oz of Diesel Clean from 4oz MMO and 16oz Diesel Clean. The 17 mpg was on the way there and I changed the mix for the ride home, I didn't do the mielage for the trip though (stupid, I know). I did notice that the engine runs even smoother and quieter than before, at 85 mph, it has a good clean singin sound to it, and it doesn't downshift as much as before. Now when i press the pedal, it just squats down and goes, and of course the light trail of black smoke.

Default RE: tweaked the mix

not everyone will have the exact same proportions. my sweeet spot is at 16-8. others are a bit more or less.

if you find that you run better with a bit more then by all mean
