Cetane boosters are only meant to be added to low quality diesel.
yeah, i should try and get him on here. It's an '09 TDI and he drives all highway, and regularly gets 52-55mpg a tank. The few times he has run without the cetane, his tank has averaged 46mpg on the exact same routes.

When I saw him doing it (he has a big jug of it at home and just uses a syringe of it for every tank), I asked about it, and for some reason I remember him stating it is very helpful given the turbo charged engine--he is also running a ram-air intake and has modified the exhaust.

I'll ask what exactly he uses.
