With the reduction in energy content per gallon is going to be only way to save IMO is if you can get bulk delivery.
Well here it's 2.36. 2.36x4.7 is 11.09. And SD has really really low taxes. I wasn't being exact when I said "like $15" haha. It was 12 or $13 total. 5 gallons in gas on the other hand, up until last week, was costing me 14.35.

Now that may not seem like much of a difference, but given that I get about 24 mpg, and drive about 4500 miles a month, including work and personal drive time, it costs me about 12 cents a mile. Dropping that down even by a single cent will save me 45 dollars per month. The product promises a 30% reduction, that's really hard to just ignore - that would save me
162 dollars a month, which means that even factoring in propane costs, the product should pay for itself in around 7-8 months.

This company has RAVE reviews for it's diesel product, and not just on their site - I dug into various other car forums and found quite a few of their customers who have seen 8-10 mpg gains in Diesel's from the 80's - and they have been in production for 17 years. The gas product is relatively new, but I'm just gonna have to trust they know what they're doing.
