Experimenting with fuel
I mixed 25% diesel fuel with 75% gas in my truck. I went from 16 MPG in the city to almost 20MPG in the city.
The best ive ever gotten prior to this experiment was 21.5MPG on the highway, and i'm almost there with only city miles.
Ive only done one tank so far, im trying my second tank now, this one is mixed a little heavier on the diesel side.
Thoughts?

Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

The neighbor next to my work is a ski resort. Needless to say they hire total retards to drive their buses. One of them filled a diesel tank with gas, no one was sure of the ratio. They emptied the tank into 55 gallon drums and were going to get it picked up for disposal, I told them I would take it. I ran it through my old 65 4x4 truck and it ran ok...I didn't really notice any difference other than the weight of my wallet.

well....anything higher than about 35% and your truck will run erratically at times. bogging and stumbling.
when it is running fine, there isnt any smoke or foul odor, i wouldnt think it would hurt cats.
