I too have been running WVO in my 300D mercedes benz, I noticed a decrease in my fuel economy from the usual 22MPG to 17-18 MPG and wondered if maybe my injectors were clogged but it appears this is the norm??

My benz has over 450k miles on it and who knows how old these injectors are. Thinking about replacing them, just haven't yet.

I do process / filter the snot out of this oil and it runs through Mercedessource kit with heater. Never have compared fuel economy with others doing this. Anyone else have experience and numbers using WVO??

THanks, almater1
