You need to clearly specify:
There is NO evidence that there is any FE benefit here
This DOESN'T work on EFI engines which makes up 99% of the vehicles on the road today
It HAS NOT been tested on emissions controlled vehicles.
There are UNKNOWN long term consequences of putting diesel fuel into a gasoline engine in any proportion.

It would be helpful if you read my previous posts with comprehension in order to avoid misrepresenting what I've provided here.

1. I've posted the change in FE which I am experiencing.
2. The vehicle I'm testing this blend on is a spark ignition, EFI engine.
3. My vehicle has fully functional emission controls. It passes testing.
4. Long term consequences are unknown. They could be good or bad. It is my opinion they will be good in my vehicle under my conditions of use. Your vehicle, your variables and your results may not be the same. Be thoughtful and careful.

I'm driving a 1 ton work van 20K a year in Alaska. Saving $30/K keeps $600 a year in my pocket. That's enough to make the exploration attractive to me. You can learn from what I've experienced to date.

You can benefit from what I've documented. You may choose to avoid the risks. It's a free country, place your bets and take your chances.
