Been using WAL-MART Super Tech TCW-3 ashless 2 cycle oil for more than 3 years now, I have not improved my mileage 1 iota. My injector rattle however has been reduced significantly, in fact within the first 20 miles of first trying it, my injectors were noticably quieter.
I believe the biggest advantage is the extra lube the injection pump and injectors receive, by lack of lubrication in ...

I tried it for a while, only thing I noticed was that my exhaust soot was sticky and I think it was causing my exhaust brake to stick a little.. No more 2stroke no more sticky EB.
I started using TCW-3 2008 in July and when I went out to AZ & CA last NOV I put 6.788 miles on a round trip my milage came up 1.9 miles better than it did the year before. I also run HOWES DIESEL TREAT AT 1oz per gal jest like the TWC-3. I have used the Treat from day one.
I have been using the Walmart brand 2-Stroke TCW-3 oil for ~12K miles. I have seen no improvement in mileage. However, my rail pressures have leveled out (i.e. not as erratic as without oil) and injector noise is significantly reduced. Best thing about this additive is that its inexpensive. I have people all the time tell me about how great their Lucas, Force, Amsoil, PowerService, etc, etc ...
Complete fillup of diesel, I add a quart. When I run jet fuel, I add a quart to every 5 gallons of jet fuel. Over kill? Yep. The most jet fuel i have had in the truck at once is around 20-25 gallons. That means 4-5 quarts of 2 stroke. Didn't smoke anymore than normal. I wish the bio stations were closer. My truck is happiest running B20.

I also ran the Walmart brand 2 stroke oil in my truck, did it for a month or two but didn't notice any changes in mileage. I heard about Optilube and have been running it instead, their summer blend that is. It only requires 2oz per tank so, AH64ID, you wouldn't have to worry about your exhaust brake I think. I haven't noticed any mileage change with it either, but I don't have to use near as much. I drive an '04, so...
