BellStores Marathon Station, 5501 Fisher Rd, Columbus 43228. No additives. Engine still runs ruff sometimes, but no dash lights. Father's Day Sunday, and following an 8 hour workday, me and Du were out on the west side buying a second family car.

Certified. No additives. Byers replaced the intake manifold about 1/3rd into this tank's consumption. Repair was covered under warranty and the tech told me that the manifold would contribute to poor fuel efficiency. The EFI was estimating about 41.5 mpg. Possibly less emission regen activity since repair, but engine still runs rough on occasions (thought it might totally shut down during one event when I tried to accelerate from on ramp onto the interstate - more white smoke too).

Apr 18 2019

Certified. No additives. The MFI estimated 45.5 mpg on this tank. Most of the mileage was clocked during the drive home from the South with fuel purchased in Tennessee (tail wind too). I was surprised with how bad my mileage was over the entire trip, and now that I see that there is a 9 mpg disparity between the MFI and my actual mileage, I believe that the engine is not running right.

Certified. No additives added this time (and this completed tank had a double shot of PS Diesel Kleen). Enjoyed some use of the A/C during this tank. MFI indicated that I got 46.7 mpg, but Fuelly calculates 42.2, so the emissions fix continues to show a disparity of at least 3 miles per gallon.

Jul 17 2018

Certified. Double dose of PS Diesel Kleen (bottle got caught in the filler-throat, so I might have added about 7 oz). The consumed tank was purchased on the way to Dayton. Fuelly calculates a 44 mpg, but MFI indicates 47 mpg, so the disparity since the emissions fix continues. Current price of RUG is $2.85.
