Ron,  good old Marvel Mystery Oil has been around since I was a child.
It's good stuff!

Ralph,
     I have been using Marvel Mystery Oil for quite some time in my 
Freightliner with the old Cat 3406C mechanical engine.  I used up all my 
unused oils like you are doing and had to buy something. Marvel always 
worked in my spray planes so I figured it would work in the truck.  It 
does.  1 quart per 100 gals of fuel, nominally. Gained almost 3/4 of a 
mile per gallon.  I can sure tell when I have not added it.
