The "True" Cost of Blending Kerosene vs Winter Additive

June 10, 2011

The "True" Cost of Blending Kerosene vs Winter Additive


Basis of calculations for ULSD

Diesel fuel (with taxes) cost per gallon = $4.00
Kerosene (with taxes) cost per gallon = $4.20
Blend required to lower CFPP by 20F from base fuel = 40%
Additive treat cost (cents) per gallon of diesel fuel = 5.475¢
Diesel vehicle average fuel economy (MPG) of fuel = 6.00
Average fuel economy loss with 40% kerosene blend = 20%


40% Kerosene Blend Cost Analysis
Diesel fuel @ $4.00 / gallon x 60 gallons = $240.00
+ Kerosene @ $4.20 / gallon x 40 gallons = $168.00
= $408.00 per 100 gallons of fuel
Blended cost per gallon of fuel ($408.00 divide by 100 gallons) = $4.08
Blended fuel economy 20% loss (6.00 x 80%) = 4.80 mpg
Blended fuel cost per mile ($4.08 divided by 4.80 MPG) = $0.8500

Winter Additive Cost Analysis

Diesel fuel @ $4.00 / gallon x 100 gallons = $400.00
+ Additive @ 5.475 cents per gallon x 100 = $ 5.475
= $405.475 per 100 gallons of fuel

Additized cost per gallon of fuel ($405.475 divided by 100 gallons) = $4.05475
Additized fuel economy (no loss in MPG with additive) = 6.00 mpg
Additized fuel cost per mile ($4.05475 divided by 6.00 MPG) = $0.6758


Fuel "Cost per Mile Savings" with Additive Treated Diesel Fuel = $0.1742
