I dont have a tuner installed on my truck ( im waiting for the initial break in to be over) but im noticing on my stock 6.4 16 mpg hiway and 10 in town...
not impressed.. On my previous truck 05 superduty with the 6.0 i ran fuel conditioner... howes meaner power cleaner ... I bought it at napa auto parts but its avalible online. http://www.howeslube.com/products/index.php/category/10#20
anyway this product works im seeing gains of 3 mpg all over, on extended hiway trips im getting an extra 5 mpg/100 km per tank ... I run the same trip every week and i tried it with the treatment and without fueling up with the same amount of fuel at the same fueling station ... a shell to be exact.
anyone else using any fuel treatments?

You may want to take a look at this. See the 7th post.

If I could get 5 mpg's better on fuel treatment alone I wouldn't have needed to do the dpf delete.:D Nah the dpf delete is worth it.

BigIslandBoy - I totally agree! And it's also nice to have the extra power.

It's been over 3 months with the DD, and I still get a little giddy when I stomp it.:D
