One of the things I noticed when researching the biodiesel issue was that there were several points made about the lubricity of the fuel. They claim to be monitoring it by regular sampling to ensure that the fuel does provide adequate lubrication to the pump internals and injectors.
Admitting that 2-stroke oil - even in such a small concentration (4ml per litre diesel) - does anything to benefit the fuel would be almost a confession by the fuel company that their fuel is inadequate. You'll never see them admit to that.
You won't see Nissan saying too much about it either, at least officially. As a player in the international motor vehicle market - one of the larger playing fields in the world today - they have to be mindful of things like this. They acquire their fuels and oils from these companies and really shouldn't be throwing mud in their face.
As for accuracy of reporting - I'm not pushing a barrow with it, so as I've said before, I'm not going to try and set up testing gear in order to prove this or that either way.
I've tried it, I'm still using it, my perception is that my car is a little quieter first thing in the morning and I did notice one trip had better fuel consumption - but that is hardly good statistical analysis, because I've only done one trip with, and one without, and there were vastly different temperatures and humidity on the two trips, either one could have accounted for the difference alone.
Does it really work, or is it in my mind? I'm not certain yet. I do know that it hasn't done any detectable damage as yet, so it's not all dark clouds and gloom.
