Diesel fuel.
LTCF suggested that I start using fuel from Cenex. He got much better mileage. I am not noticing much mileage difference, but my motorhome sure seems to have more power. I've only had a diesel a little over a year, so I don't know that much about them.

Re: Diesel fuel.
It's true, I go out of my way to buy road master diesel for more power and better mileage.
Anyone want to take a stab a why that is?
The red stuff (field master) is even better, but you're not supposed run that stuff in your pickup

Re: Diesel fuel.
I've been buying my fuel at Costco here in Billings. For awhile it was 20 cents lees a gallon than the other stations around town. The issue that I see regardless of where I get the fuel is when they start to winter blend the fuel, then my mileage drops. Summer blend is when I get the best mileage out of my Excursion. I some times use Diesel Clean (grey bottle) and it helps out the mpg a little.

Re: Diesel fuel.
Right. They pull the paraffin out of the #1 because that's what gels so the fuel is less dense therefore having fewer hydrocarbons.WeedKillinCat wrote:I've been buying my fuel at Costco here in Billings.
