Diesel Fuel

I have been driving a Diesel since March 85, and over 500,000 miles. Never knew about all this sulfur stuff, just kept driving and driving.

I do know that my MPG goes down in the winter, and just thought, it was because the stations blended #1 and #2 . Never had any problems with the injector pump, with leaks, or etc.

so...............

so are all our worries for nothing? it seems from the articale that they will be adding lubrication to the USLD. so we have nothing to worrie about as far as the injectors go right?
