I think plain vegetable oil sold in bulk is probably the most cost-efficient lubricant additive. The question becomes how much is needed. A gallon sure seems to be enough. A half-gallon is even easier to carry along.

Some time I would like to run my own experiment in a jar to make sure that vegetable oil disperses within diesel and doesn't all collect at the top or bottom. I use soy oil.
