Re: 2 stroke oil in your diesel?

come on guys i dont think this subject is about gaining the 1/ 2 mpg if it was you,d be better off putting the cost of the oil in the tank. surely its more to do with lubeing pump and injectors cleaning the system and making your car sound better and smoke less. :-? :-@ :-@ :-@
