Such as EOC with a turbo charged rig... $1000-2500 to replace a fryed turbo. How many years is the ROI from warping the shaft 1time .(after the turbine grenades it typically wipes out the rest of the motor) a 5.9l cummins runs $4500 and up...
Yes Diesel Dave is getting 57mpg and saving bu$$ loads on fuel. How much life is going to be stripped when operator choice (not error) frags the turbo/motor the chain reaction could go as far as taking out trans ,cluch, drive shaft, ect ect.

What % of his 57mpg is from EOC under 10% is my guss that puts EOC in the same class as HHO as per OilPan not worth the time of day. (Not picking on you Oil Pan ) but single digit improvements add up. Not evry one has a brick shaped car like me , to throw an Aero Tonto cover on to see a double digit gain.

EPA Combined Rating / % over rating: 18.237 mpg (US) / 24.5% (based on 90-day fuel economy)
Total fills: 33
The 18.237 is my naked average.
