If there were problems causing a loss of mileage that were related to, say, dirty injectors. Then the cleaning effects of bio could certainly help. The increased lubricity could also lead to restored injector performance.

I just started putting B20 in the X with Lucas injector treatment. Didn't loose any power. I have had it 4 yrs and have had the filter get dirty enough to decrease mileage and performance but I have never seen anything remotely dirty. After I run out this second tank of B20 I am changing the filter and I will see if it still white like the others. Nothing I have done, other than a tuner has increased my mileage.

Yes, the B20 did make my filter look like coffee. I wonder if it will get better (like before, it used to be white) of if it is the effects of Bio on the filter.

I expect you will eventually see it like it was originally. The coffee looking stuff is probably tank deposits getting caught. My filter still looked "original" even after several months of B100 so I doubt it would change appearance simply from the fuel; if that is what you meant. It might take awhile to clear up though.
