Does any one have a real study on Cetane Boosters?

I have no Science Info to add, but I use strictly Howes now. Meaner Power Cleaner in the Summer, and the other stuff in the Winter. My Trucks smoke alot less now, when running Howes, than they did when I was running Power Service.
 
I've run the same mix for years now in multiple trucks. I mix 8 oz. of Power Service (white bottle in winter, grey bottle the rest of the year) plus 16 oz. TCW3 2-Stroke oil with every fill-up. Those amounts are calibrated for 25 gallons, but I don't worry if I'm only putting in 19 or filling with 30, close enough. I've read a lot of info over the past 8 or so years, and I still think this mix makes sense.

I make this mix in 3 or 4 quart bottles and keep them in the truck. That way no measuring and only one bottle to pour in at the pump.
 
OR and AZ sells Howes now.
I saw it the other day when I was there.
Not sure if it is just here or everywhere.
 
I will try some Howe's again James. What does a jug of that go for now? And where are you getting it?

I still have a ton left from the Discount Cases I got a while ago. You'd be tough to beat the price you can get it for on Ebay, per bottle, if you buy it in Cases.

But it leaves you wanting to buy Pirelli tires for your truck and having the urge to oregano on everything!
