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.

That ULSD does suck. So I run Wal-Mart 2 stroke oil to offset the lack of sulfur. Really quiets down the injectors and improves MPG. Note: this is only for diesels 04 or 03 and older...
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

I mix a bottle of the deisel clean and the cheap two stroke oil from wal-mart. I use a pint per fill up and a quart when towing. With no tune I get 17mpg non freeway to work (58 miles round trip) and 20~21 mpg flat freeway calculated. If I run the preditor 120hp tune I still get 17mpg going to work but the freeway milage jumps way up to 24mpg if I stay under 70mph. At 55~60mph it is even higher but, who can drive that slow? The tune leans out the fuel mixture as long as I don't get on it and drive with the cruze on. I have to drive through Lambs canyon to and from work some I think the hills kill the tunes help but, on the freeway it is real noticable help in fuel milage. I have to calculate the milage because the dic is way off with the 120hp tune, it is reading 28~32mpg after I reset at the pump on the freeway. I get 11mpg towing a 27' toy hauler with more then 8000 pounds in it running no tune. I can set the tire size to be right on so the speedo and GPS are the same. Duramax LBZ 2006 6" lift 35" BFG's.
