    Use Lucas (no solvents) WHY? because with low sulpher fuel , you need a lubricant and cleaner (keeps Injectors clean) I used Marvel Mystery Oil in the old days , It was great , but its a red color oil-may get u in trouble (Marvel says no problem) with IRS , thinking you bought red dye fuel. Also get a fuel air seperator ($500) I like (F.A.S.S.) . Keep your engine running in its sweet RPM bracket . Cats like low rpms, Detroits like higher. otherwise they drink fuel like a hot-rod car!
