Lucas works great in Diesel engines especially since they went to low sulfur fuel.

Very interesting.
Now, if they "retune" it to run 87, will that gas mileage reflect as worse or equal to stock gas mileage?
87 gas mileage with tune and without the tune?
They make a great product for diesel engines that cleans/lubes injectors, AND also cleans the DPF. However, on a gas engine, I think that Chevron makes the best for cleaning/lubing the injectors. It has Tecron in it that really seems to be the market favorite. With the standards of gasoline delivery and tank status at the stations, this Chevron stuff is cheap insurance to protect your injectors.
You’d still be limited by octane regardless of tuning. The engine is designed for 93 octane, which is what the power output figures are based on.
I have used the Lucas fuel conditioner in my 2014 6.2 engine for over 4 years and it works great. I don’t believe it claims to increase octane in fuel but to allow lower octane use? Anyway, I use it for the injector and valve cleaning properties and upper cylinder lubrication. It works very well with the oil/air separator to keep the intake air clean. It also gives better fuel economy on trips. You can buy it in gallon size to make it economical to use.
