New top-notch diesel fuel additive?

(In Australia)What‘s that new diesel fuel additive everyone‘s talking about that is supposed to be the ducks nuts? Octane/Cetane booster?I head a diesel fitter at work talking about how the freighting companies are using it in their trucks and getting another load of freight with the same amount of fuel.Cheers.

Answer:

well from what ive learned, Those additives havent been proven to work, unconfirmed reports not lab tested of only 1/2 mpg or less. i have heard that true fuel savings are achieved by proper tire inflation, slowing down so the rpms match the gear ratio and tire rpm. i think the formula is something like engine rpm X gear ratios X tire size X tire rpm divided by 60. ( this might not be right) i am interested to see the correct answer your looking for, im willing to try it and see but nothing ive heard or tried truely works
