Wisconsin premium diesel increases mpg?

Additives, but some of it is only good to 15 above. Year round.

 

Interested also. Some Kwik Fill have it also. Never gave it a long try though. They are United Refinery in Warren Pa.

 

its real fuel no bio blend. 100% petro

 

I've only used the winterized stuff without actually putting in any anti-gel. And I had engine off down to almost -20 last year.

Always fired right up, but my fuel water separator does have a heating element.

There were two nights the bunk heater line froze up. So then I ran the engine.

 

I used to put it in at Brintles and could tell the difference at the top of fancy gap. The j fuel they SAY is premium.
I believe premium has kerosene added.

 

Most diesel you buy at the big chains is that B15 or B20 bio diesel. At some of the mom and pop places, you can still find regular diesel for either the same price or cheaper. Regular diesel gives me better fuel economy and doesn’t freeze as fast as B20. Premium diesel is the stuff that won’t gel until, I think -40 or colder? Haven’t used any in nearly a decade, but is it blue, like the old diesel before the days of ULSD (which is green)?

Anyways, IMO, that bio diesel is awful, but it is so hard to find regular diesel. Funny thing, you know how everyone runs to the megas like Loves and Pilot and whatnot because they supposedly give a discount? Some of the mom and pop places don’t give discounts, but their fuel prices are the same as the mega discount prices,and it’s not bio.

I wonder if @wore out has a list of approved fueling spots for 100% diesel.

 

They don't need to put a label on the pump if selling biodiesel at 5% or less.

I use KT when I run that way, which is mostly during the colder months. I notice the price is not a flat .05 or .10 or whatever above their straight #2 fuel. It varies. There was another post somewhere around here where a user contacted KT and they said they adjust the amount of anti gel they add to the fuel theirselves, and market it as good to below -15, -20, -25, etc. as the weather calls for. The more they add, the more expensive over the #2. If you are a gambler you could save a few bucks . . . . .

I always figured it was more for winter operations. I bet if you email them they will reply with a detailed answer. Kwik Trip, Inc. - Contact Us

FWIW I routinely get better fuel mileage when going east than I do on the way west, even when fueling at the same locations. And yes that can be as much as a 1 mpg. Similar load weights, same terrain, only difference being going east/west. Seems to be the trend all the way across and back. Generally speaking.
