Certified plus 2.5 oz of Amsoil Diesel Concentrate (thought about not adding an additive to prep for PS White). Went a full month on this tank since I have been working in-town for 3 weeks. Lots of city driving and many times I don't even get the car fully warmed up before shutting it back off.

Certified. 2 oz AmSoil Diesel Concentrate. Lots of driving to stores after work. Some A/C, but the weather has been historically mild for this time of the year. Some strong throttling in this tank, but I think that driving after work (warmed up engine) has helped this tank's mpg's

went 47 days since my last fill-up. 17 days in Asia and then on my back with sickness for another 4 days will make a tank last a long time. No additives on this tank and will go back to Amsoil Concentrate on next fill-up. Been trying to drive for max mpg during the whole tank.

3 oz PSW added to only 10 gallons. The weather has only recently warmed (84 degrees yesterday and day before), but I also got some pretty good mpg's on a few morning commutes that were low 30's. Low grade unleaded was $3.37 today, but I paid $3.89 at the Certified.

3 oz PS White. This March has been much cooler than last year. No snow events on this tank, but grey, NW winds, and most days do not reach 50 degrees. Again got 3 weeks out of a tank. Price of regular unleaded has stayed around $3.80.

Certified on Harmon. 3 oz PS White. There have been some pretty wide temp swings during the period (66 degrees and humid 7 days ago with half a tank, a few days before that it was 15 degrees, and we had quite a bit of snow after Christmas. It's 40 today and it will be single digit cold in two days). Regular unleaded has been around $3.05 and diesel around $3.99 during the past month.

Certified on Harmon. 3 oz PSW. November has been a little cooler than normal, dry, some really nice days. This is exactly 4 weeks since last fill-up (laying-low during the 4 day holiday helped the tank last this long). I have been trying for fuel efficiency during the entire tank. Regular unleaded is $3.41 today.

Certified on Harmon. 3 oz PS white. Lots of rain, wind, and cold over the past 4 days (hurricane Sandy) has resulted in some bad MPG trips to work. Same late-fall price trend with diesel again. Gas prices go down to entice Christmas spending, but diesel stays high it's time to fill-up home heating oil tanks.

Certified on Harmon. 3 oz PS White (past tank got nothing as I weaned AmSoil Diesel Concentrate). Price of regular gas today is 3.71, so I am on par with the cost of high test. Have had several frosty mornings during the past week. Noticed the effect of the cold as I continued to target fuel economy through-out this tank consumption.

about 39 degrees this morning and tomorrow wiill be close to 80, so I filled to avoid air space in fuel tank that could aid water-condensation. Added no Amsoil and will purge until returning to the P.S. White.

Certified on Harmon. Added 3 oz Amsoil Diesel Concentrate to this 12.3 gallons (so a little too much stuff). Could have easily clocked 600 miles on this tank, but wanted to fill before Friday of the Labor Day holiday. Fuel prices just spiked two days ago and regular unleaded is selling for $3.95.

Certified on Harmon closes before 5:00pm on Saturdays. Went straight there after work today. 598 miles on this tank. Added 3 oz Amsoil Concentrate. Price of regular unleaded today is the same price as this diesel, so today I beat the Jeep's fuel-up cost big time (when factoring the Jeep's need for hi-octane fuel).

Certified on Harmon. Last full tank got no fuel treatment, and this tank received barely over 2 oz of Amsoil Diesel Concentrate (used PS White during the winter and spring, and I haven't used Amsoil since last summer). Purchased car almost exactly one year ago and it looks and runs great.

bought 3 gallons at the Turkey Hill on 6/22 (20 cents less there) and then finally filled up at the Certified on Harmon today (put 14.323 gallons in the tank today and the "range" display showed I could have only driven another 5 miles before running out of fuel completely, so this is the lowest I have ever drawn down the tank). Added no fuel treatment on this fill up and may switch back to Amsoil on the next fill-up.

13.266 gallons today from the Certified on Harmon combined with 3.5 gallons purchased on Memorial Day Monday at the Turkey Hill on S. High St. Added 1 oz PS White then, and another 3.5 oz today. Car ran good on Turkey Hill stuff and even squealed tires during a hard acceleration in 1st gear.
