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.

 
miles driven 100,000   cost per gallon of fuel $2.10
MPG w/o DieselMaxx 5.7   cost per gallon of DieselMaxx $24.95
MPG w/DieselMaxx 6.1      
         
MPG Increase w/DieselMaxx 0.4    % MPG Increase w/DieselMaxx 7.02%
      DieselMaxx cost per treated gallon of fuel $0.06238
      total cost per gallon of fuel w/DieselMaxx $2.16238
         
fuel cost per mile w/o DieselMaxx $0.368   total fuel cost w/o DieselMaxx $36,842.11
Fuel cost per mile w/DieselMaxx $0.354   total fuel costs w/DieselMaxx $35,448.77
per mile cost savings on fuel $0.014   savings for miles driven w/DieselMaxx $1,393.33
      OR  
      additional miles with no added cost 3,930.56

 

For the example of MPG improvement given by Tim Roberts, Sr. (click here for statement), the results are even more dramatic (see table below).

miles driven 100,000   cost per gallon of fuel $2.10
MPG w/o DieselMaxx 5.5   cost per gallon of DieselMaxx $24.95
MPG w/DieselMaxx 6.3      
         
MPG Increase w/DieselMaxx 0.8    % MPG Increase w/DieselMaxx 14.55%
      DieselMaxx cost per treated gallon of fuel $0.06238
      total cost per gallon of fuel w/DieselMaxx $2.16238
         
fuel cost per mile w/o DieselMaxx $0.382   total fuel cost w/o DieselMaxx $38,181.82
Fuel cost per mile w/DieselMaxx $0.343   total fuel costs w/DieselMaxx $34,323.41
per mile cost savings on fuel $0.039   savings for miles driven w/DieselMaxx $3,858.41
      OR  
      additional miles with no added cost 11,241.32

Results may vary with vehicle, driver or other conditions but this will give you some idea as to savings possible with improved miles per gallon experienced.
