Are there any better ones?
I'm coming from driving diesel.... there, Lucas makes CLAIMS, but can't hold a candle to Howe's (sadly a diesel-only brand)
And maybe it's BECAUSE of driving diesel, but I'm a faithful convert to running additives.... COULD just be the fact that ULSD is utter sh!te to begin with, and the sad sad state of added-as-an-afterthought civilian gas station diesel pumps wasn't helping matters
You want better mpg's or what? Get on that treadmill and while you're loosing weight you get to build your leg muscles and stronger legs can help in pushing the truck to places... Pushing the truck gives you infinite mpg's
Hahaha well it gave me a laugh for what it is.
Truly I say do what you can but instead of spending more to attempt to increase the mpg's just save what you can and maybe a hybrid Tahoe or an EcoBoost is the best long term goal.

Cost of vehicle operation has nearly NOTHING to do with MPG.... mostly vehicle price and service costs
Example: You run a $30k Prius for 200k miles, and your cost per mile of JUST paying down that Prius....will be approximately the cost per mile of putting gas into an Expedition
it's just one of the last places to squeeze a few bucks savings out
