The diesel got smoother and more power around 1500 miles. My mileage isn't great in the cold weather. 17 city and 24 highway @ 80 MPH. When it warms up, my mileage improves. They switched to summer blended diesel the first of April, but I haven't filled up with any yet. The distributor also told me, they don't mix number 1 with number 2 diesel in the winter anymore. It costs too much is what they told me.

Talk to you later,

Craig, when you say they don't blend 1 and 2 for winter?? I take it they just make winter fuel by using additives?? I think most distributors in Kansas mix 1 and 2 as the additives really don't work well when it gets really cold. I know some stores don't and when it gets really cold customers rush to the distributors that mix to keep from gelling. We have a store on I70 and have one tank which is all 1 so the customer can blend his fuel any percent he wants. Our other stores just blend.
Glad you are enjoying your D. I have had great luck with my 4.8.
