Improved Mileage
Below is an example of what may be achieved
with a less than half mile per gallon increase in fuel
consumption. Mileage improvements in this range have been
reported from more than one source.
For an MPG improvement of four
tenths (.4)
using $2.10/gallon fuel, the net savings with
Alterra DieselMaxx added is $0.014 per mile
operated. For 100,000 miles this comes out to
some $1,393.00 saved on fuel or an extra 3,930
miles at no added cost. In addition to the fuel
savings. wear on critical engine parts is
reduced as lubricity is added to the ULSD by
Alterra DieselMaxx bioadditive.
