PS= Diesel Power Service 16oz.
MMO= Marvels Mystery Oil 8oz.

Per Full Tank

They claim a 2 mpg improvement. But, I cant realy say that I ve seen it.....I added a Volant intake and Eliminated my sileincer ring and tried the the additives at the same time.....I got 2.1 mpg worse (20.5 highway average to a 18.4 on the same trip the same speed and no cargo.).....they say it is do to the intake and the more free flow......but I would think that the enigine is trying less to breath and therefore giving it better mpg.....every intake company that I know of markets their product as giving better mpg......K&N, AEM, Volant.....etc....thererfore, I dont know!

PS. I am having a bad day though!

i'd agree... I saw it on my gasser and also on my CTD... open up the intake or exhaust too much and your milage will suffer.

I can say that I get a pretty consistant 1.5 mpg better with the PSD/MMO mix in my truck...

I use the 16oz of power Service (PS) and 8oz of Mystery Marvil OIl (MMO) each tankfull, and at the same time i started using it i put on bigger tires. and my mileage dropped right at 2.5mpg, but after the 3 third tank of the mix i'm back to where i was before the tires, so i'm happy. truck sounds alot smoother.

Since MMO came up... Anyone know what is up with the recall on MMO?? Been to 2 different Wally Worlds and get the some response. It's on recall and no idea when they will get any more.. Just got an '06 CTD myself and would like to try it out.

It's the PSD that is not available from Wally mart... you can get it at any auto parts stores. I picked up a 3 quart container from Napa for $15 bux. W-mart just was the cheepest for the 3 quart container. To my knowledge there is no problem getting the MMO.
