Has anyone been using this new diesel that’s out? I’ve seen a couple of stations that show they have it. I’ve done some research and that shows with R99 the need for a fuel additive isn’t needed? Just curious if anyone has used it and if it had an impact on mileage positive or negative and if anyone has towed a trailer with it? Any help appreciated!

Naturally, the closest place to me with R99 is almost 40 miles away. As far as I know, it's fully compatible fuel and meets the ASTM D975 fuel standard. For me, I always drop in a bit of Howes Meaner Kleaner ever couple of tanks anyway - probably just a good practice, especially if you're running a CP4 pump still. :rolleyes: ... wait, am I the only one?

R99 (Renewable Diesel) has been around for 10 years, so it's not new. However, it's not widespread and R99 stations are very much isolated to certain regions. Renewable Diesel uses the same feedstocks as biodiesel, but how it's produced is even better. To answer your question, Renewable Diesel is some of the best fuel you can run in your truck. It's super high quality and will optimize power, fuel economy, and cleanliness with exceptional lubricity.
