No need to get fancy on the fuel adds. I run two stroke oil (1/2 oz per gal) in my 2006 cummins and the 2008 LMM (dpf delete). It will lube the pump and injectors, help to keep the trash in the filter and for less than $2.00 I can treat a tank of fuel.

I actually use Opti-Lube but know of no difference because I've never compared before and after...I just purchased it for it's lube characteristics...I do know that I got 21.2 MPG combining it with my EFI but don't know how much of a difference it is responsible for...Sorry for the useless info but just thought I'd chime in.

I've recently started using Stanadyne and have seen no drop in mileage.

What do you mean?
I've read many many people are using 2 stroke oil as an effective additive. Do you have reason to believe it is not a good idea?

I use this for it's lubrication properties. Oil Fortifier Its cheaper than XPD $.68 vs $4.35 a tank.
I may see +2 mpg improvement but its not consistent cuz I have a lead foot.
