For those that will mention improved milage, I'll just react with "you don't say?" because I, my neighbor, as well as our RV traveling companions might claim quieter operating engines, but no joy at the pump.
I used Stanadyne performance formula and Lubricity formula in my 2001 Chevy 3500 dually for 20 years and its still running strong. I second the "gets better fuel mileage - you don't say", comment. It doesn't . Rural King also offers larger quantities at a reduced cost per use.

The process for refining to ultra low sulfur diesel takes the lubricity out of the fuel, probably not much the diesel manufacturer can do about that.
