Fuel Additives for the Northeast winter

OOps, Stuck my origonal post in the wrong forum

I will be transferring from Colorado to New England next month (Oct). Having spent several previous winters in NE I can attest that they tend to be a bit more severe than the Colo front range (Denver - Colo Springs areas). But this will be my first trip with my 06 CTD.

I'm curious as to whether or not a case can be made for the use of fuel additives during the NE winter. Cummins says not required. TDR and Geno's garage carry fuel additives (Cummins and Mopar as I recall). Aside from the fact that they certainly can't hurt anything they each add to the cost of fuel. From a $5c up to a $25c per gal. Not much, but what does it buy us?

Perhaps a controversial subject, but with winter knocking on the door should be a timely topic for discussion.
