Yes, I gain 1/2 qt plus of fuel in my oil and after the fast first rise in the first 1,000 miles, it tapers off and rises very slowly to the 3,000 mile dump mark.
Also the guy I was working with at Polaris Labs had a business owner who had 35 delivery vans and through a very expensive test that can test more then 5% fuel. They est. it was 7 to 9% , and followed those vans into 100,000 mile plus mileage with no abnormal wear.
Also, I might add here too, with 5%plus fuel dilution, I am being hard on my car with full load 18 to 20 lbs of boost at 1,400 rpm going through the gears and still no wear. I am not driving it like a Grandpa or a common driver does.
