Well I sure hope this RenDiesel is better than the crap the American refineries put out as “diesel”. You are barley getting 38 Cetane in the American diesel compared to the 50+ Cetane level diesel you see in Europe.

If the American refiners could produce high quality diesel, then you would not need all the junk that is put on the new diesel cars/trucks as “after treatment” and reduce the cost of the diesel cars/trucks here in the US.

Europe doesn’t have to meet the US EPA requirements.

BUT THAT WOULD COST UNION JOBS! The more complicated a device is the more people are required to produce it. Get with the program!........../s

My current project has been doing modifications on a 2009 GMC Sierra w/ Duramax to see how much I can improve the mileage. I started at 14.5MPG when it was stock. I've got it up to a good consistent 21MPG. A few weeks ago, I noticed all the sudden I was getting 23MPG. Now I am back to 21MPG. Nothing in my driving habits changed, weather was consistent, tires same, etc. Had to be the fuel. I am now circling back to all the places I buy fuel to see if I can figure out where I got the fuel. May have been a fluke.
