OT - Berryman's B-12 fuel additive
 

The mileage on my replacement Blazer is a bit low.
15 MPG, where the last Blazer ran about 18 MPG.

A friend reccomended Berryman's B-12 gas additive.
Says it's $2.97 at Walmart. Found it at Walmart. top
shelf, and this store had only two left, so it took a
while to find it. A couple days ago, I put in one can
of that B-12 fluid. I'd checked my mileage at 15.2 on
the last tank. This next fill up came up 16.3 MPG. I
don't think I changed my driving style, and the weather
is much the same. So, I'm figure that fluid did some
good.

It may work for you, also.

I don't think it will do anything for a new vehicle, it's basically
just a fuel system cleaner. But it could conceivably help out w/
cleaning gunky fuel injectors or other fuel system components in an
old, high-mileage vehicle.

Report back over 10 or more tankfuls. Too many variables since where
you are going, the weather, and even differences in traffic patterns can
make fairly large differences from one tank to another. Sounds
interesting, though.

Most likely it did nothing if it's a fairly new vehicle. You'd have to
check the mpg a lot more than once.

It's basically toluene, acetone, hexanes, and methanol, same as most
fuel system cleaners. The actual ingredients would cause your mpg to go
down, but if something was gunked up it might have helped.

Let's assume it does work.

20 gal tank @15.2 = 304 miles
20 gal tank @16.3 = 326 miles

So, 22 extra miles $2.97 + tax.

B12 contains acetone, which may play havoc with plastic parts. You can
Google it.

Cleaning out your injectors or carb may very well improve mileage.

It appears to be a cleaner and that once every now and then is enough. YMMV.

This is supposed to be solvents and gosh knows

fuel injectors won't be dirty for a couple years

I'll keep notes, for a few tanks full. The truck has 173k

This is also the time of year they reformulate the gasoline for warmer
weather. Winter blended gasoline can *really* hurt your gas mileage.
So your boost in MPG may have been a coincidence.

Need to test again in mid-summer or mid-winter so you'll have the same
gas before and after.

I'd like to see some documentation (legitimate documentation) that
proves this theory of gasoline being blended different in the winter.

How do you feel about the legitimacy of the EPA...
The difference between conventional summer- and winter-blend gasoline
has to do with the Reid Vapor Pressure of the fuel. RVP relates to the
volatility of a gasoline. The more volatile a gasoline, the more likely
it will evaporate as the temperatures rises; evaporated gasoline
contributes to unhealthy ozone and smog levels. Summer gasoline has a
low RVP and is less likely to evaporate when compared to the high RVP
winter grade. The Environmental Protection Agency says conventional
summer-blend gasoline contains 1.7 percent more energy than winter-blend
gas, which contributes to the summer blend¹s slightly better gas mileage.

A crash course on seasonal gasoline

....First, one of the biggest differences is the RVP (Reid Vapor
Pressure) of the gasoline. Winter gasoline made for cooler climates
has a higher RVP number- meaning it is more volatile. The higher RVP
number means the gasoline in your tank is under more pressure. This is
why come warmer months, the RVP number must be lower, or the high
pressure could result in the gasoline boiling or evaporating, causing
an increase in air pollution.

Second, winter gasoline contains more butane. Butane doesn't burn as
clean as other "ingredients" in gasoline, but it is far cheaper to mix
into gasoline. With the added butane in winter gasoline, you may
notice that fuel economy suffers until the warmer months, when
refiners cease using as much butane in each gallon. Butane has the
highest vapor pressure of just about any other ingredient, coming in
over 50psi, which is why summer gasoline doesn't use as much. If it
would, the RVP number would be as high as winter gasoline...

What Is Summer-Blend Gas?
And if it's so clean, why don't we use it year-round?
By Sam Schechner

....Summer-blend gas isn't new. It was first sold in 1995, as required
by the Clean Air Act's 1990 amendments, and the current, even cleaner,
concoction was phased in for the summer of 2000. Since then, there
have been sharp spikes in fuel prices every spring as summer blends
get rolled out. This is not so much because it's expensive to make the
gas—the added cost per gallon is only 1 or 2 cents—but because
refineries generally try to sell every last bit of winter fuel before
mixing in the slightly more expensive summer batch. Sometimes they
draw down the stock too far, creating shortages before the first
deliveries of summer blend enter the supply chain. The return to
normal blends in the fall causes a far less pronounced spike because
the industry, free from summer standards, doesn't bother selling off
the summer gas before mixing in the less pricey stuff.

So why not use the summer blend year-round? The main reason—apart from
the fact that the 1990 law isn't written that way—is that summer-blend
gas doesn't work as well in the winter. Summer blend's low-evaporation
rate makes engines less likely to stall in hot weather but can make
them difficult to start in the cold...

Refining 101: Winter Gasoline

....Winter gasoline blends are phased in as the weather gets cooler.
September 15th is the date of the first increase in RVP, and in some
areas the allowed RVP eventually increases to 15 psi. This has two
implications for gasoline prices every fall.

First, as noted, butane is a cheaper blending component than most of
the other ingredients. That makes fall and winter gasoline cheaper to
produce. But butane is also abundant, so that means that gasoline
supplies effectively increase as the RVP requirement increases. Not
only that, but this all takes place after summer driving season, when
demand typically falls off.

These factors normally combine each year to reduce gasoline prices in
the fall (even in non-election years). The RVP is stepped back down to
summer levels starting in the spring, and this usually causes prices
to increase. But lest you think of buying cheap winter gasoline and
storing it until spring or summer, remember that it will pressure up
as the weather heats up, and the contained butane will start to
vaporize out of the mix.
And that’s why gasoline prices generally fall back in the fall, and
spring forward in the spring.

OT - Berryman's B-12 fuel additive

The auto manufacturers have a higher standard for additives than the
EPA does because of fuel injectors crudding up and intake valve
problems. The Top Tier gas is supposed to help take care of these
problems. Some of the Chevy V8's injectors are particularly bad about
crudding up. Intake valves also have carbon build up on the back side
and that causes problems.

The other side of the coing: The auto manufacturers are promoting the
idea of a voluntary higher standard for gasoline additives so that
when a customer has a warranty complaint, they can claim that he should
have used better gasoline.

Let's assume it does work.

20 gal tank @15.2 = 304 miles
20 gal tank @16.3 = 326 miles

So, 22 extra miles $2.97 + tax.

22 miles / 16.3 mpg * $3.50 per gallon = $4.72.

The price per gallon of fuel for one tankful is immaterial.

If the fuel system cleaner did anything at all, it will do it for many
many tankfuls of fuel, you don't add it each time you fill up.
