Is ULSD the cause of bad diesel MPG's
I know it effects me because when LSD (Low Sulfur Diesel) was in the pumps i got at lease 23 to 25 mpg that's with out additives but with additives i got at lease 2 mpg improvement. But when ULSD Rolls in Oct, i started to see my mpg drop to 19 to 22 that is without additives, if i added additives i got better mpg say around 21-24 mpg. I know there is no fuel leaks because i send my car to dealer for fuel leak inspection...
anyways what do you guys think.....
Ps
It was done on a 300SD....
