I have about 30 guys I supply now. I do not sell it to them, I bought it for me and like wild fire, it caught on so I figure by purchasing enough I do not have to pay shipping, I just make bigger orders. Every single person..every one of them, has seen an increase in fuel mileage. Two guys keep their own mileage charts to prove it. All the others get their mileage through on board computers or do rough calcs.
The most dramatic being over 2 MPG in the 6.0L Ford. With the Duramax and Cummins MPG varies between 1.5 and 2 some getting a little better. My 7.3L was getting about 17.5 unloaded a 1.5 MPG difference hauling, my best pulling was 12.7 MPG with 14,500 LBS 5'er up, down and around the mountains in Montana.
The beauty of this product is its lubrication properties through a nice dose of Moly. Honestly, the mileage is icing on the cake. I get to keep the injectors clean.... no gumming them up, preserving fuel over long periods of sitting, outstanding shelf life, dehydration of fuel, no engine wetstacking when idling over longer periods of time, cleaner burning fuel particulants, and a reduced to almost no smoke on hard starts off the line and burying the peddle. Oh did I mention a little HP kicker?
Suffice to say, I swear by the product.. as do over thirty others that I provide for.

That is pretty good stuff, if you are getting those results I would stick with it. I do use the Opti-Lube products that ranked a bit higher in the test and are a bit less per treatment (summer blend) but that is just what I have used and have a source for. If I did not have a source for the Opti-Lube I would be using the Schaeffers as well.
