Now that #2 is $3.05 here, I bought 5 gallons of SVO that was on sale to last me until tomorrow night when I have to head to work.where I can get, along the freeway, #2 at Loves for $2.85 (I hope). So I dump in the SVO and drive off and by the time I make it to the first light, it seems I am running markedly smoother and quieter. Since they have gone to exclusively low-sulfur I haven't made it into town to the closest bio pump (about 6 months or so). Does it really make that much of a difference or am I just nuts? It sounds and feels so much better it makes me want to start collecting WVO... Bob, Your mentality is NOT in question here! The same thing happened when I dumped in 5 gallons or Costco's finest soybean cooking oil, against maybe 3 gallons of #2 in the tank. For whatever reason, I had the engine warm and idling and within three minutes, the engine quieted down and ran smoother. VERY noticeable! I really did not expect to hear any difference but their surely is. Kind of like adding a quart of motor oil to the fuel tank at high altitudes, as it alters the rate of combustion. And the smell of the exhaust is much more pleasant, as well.
