before without amsoil the best i got was 19.1mpg and i used diesal kleen driving 75mph for about half and 80mph the rest with no stops and no idling time. so i would say that is a nice improvement since both stops were about 10min each enough for a bathroom brake and to change the baby's diaper and to run into taco johns to grab some food to eat on the road.
If you look at the diesel Kleen it has cetane boost.
On the Amsoil bottle it says it will give a 2% improvement on the bottle

Just an FYI, I changed over my Trans Fluid to Torque Drive yesterday via hoot method and changed both filters. May just be my hopefullness, but I saw about 15-20 degrees cooler in my trans temps and shifts seem better (smoother and more crisp).

What am I doing wrong , I'm lucky to see 15.5 if I baby it , is the difference in oil going to make that much of a difference . I know it wont be 5+ mpg but how much really could I expect.

That is great, I am going to change my brake fluid and will get back to you on how many more miles per gallon and tank I get. Who would have believed Me I Believe?
