My personal experience with ULSD.
4th Tank (06 F350 Crew PSD, Mountianeer 342PHT)
Mileage remains consistent at @13.5MPG (over 1100 miles), which is slightly better than LSD at 12-12.5MPG over the previous few months towing.*

Price in the North East seems unchanged ($2.79 NJ - $2.89-2.99 most everwhere else) from LSD price.
Performance appears the same.
Black Smoke appears less than with LSD.

NOTE: Two key difference is in my limited experiences, (a) the ULSD trials have been done in June with Average Temps in the 80s vs. previous mileage figures earlier this year (April-May) in the 50s-70s). (b) Truck ODA April-May 5K-10K, June 11-14K. So improved Mileage #s may be attributed more the the warmer weather and futher break-in of the engine that the ULSD vs LDS fuel.
