Have a 2000 SD 250 with 101000 miles. Truck still runs great but can't seem to get good mileage empty or pulling recently. Dropped about 3 or 4 mpg. Does the new fuel cause this?

That is too big a drop in fuel economy to be simply a fuel issue. I have seen no change with the new fuel on my 1997 Ford with 240,000+ miles. Even running cut diesel in the winter I only loose 1-2 mpg TOPS!

Start looking for another problem.

My 2003 Duramax diesel still gets 20 to 22 mpg on the ULSD, same as the old fuel.

It's probably the new improved fuel.All 3 of my Dodges and the wife's diesel suburban are off about 3-4 mpg.
