On the additive,lets say it costs 8 dollars to treat 100 gallons of fuel.Lets say I can go 50 miles further with my truck with the additive.100 gallons equals 600 miles without additive,650 with additive,50 miles divided by 6 miles to the gallon is about 8 gallons of diesel at 4.00 a gallon is 32 dollars minus 8 dollars equals 24 dollars saved.Additive costs different prices,and conditions help or make worse the amount of miles you can go.I think it could save 10 dollars on 100 gallons most of the time.For me its having the 8 or 10 dollars to buy it some days,or being able to find it if you run out.
One time I was having a day where everything was going good for me,Got unloaded,went about 5 miles got reloaded,just kept driving,looking for low priced fuel,poured the additive in while I was getting loaded,and ended up driving 1610 miles on 200 gallons of fuel.Wasnt much left in the tanks but thats 8 miles to the gallon and truck averaged 6.5.Wind seemed like it was helping me,and the additive worked good that time.Never found any cheaper fuel until I got to Missouri,1610 miles from where I filled up before.Even different kinds of fuel get different mileages.Your mileage may vary is right.I seem to not get as good of mileage with Phillips 66 as with about anybody elses.I also like to drive at night,less traffic,cool air,and if the weathers good you can go a long ways.If you just drive in the daylight,more traffic,more wrecks,more road construction,just plain more stuff in your way.Every time you slow down you burn fuel to speed back up.
