Amoco Premier Diesel

Does anyone have any experience with it? I thought this thread was appropriate considering all the recent talk about fuel quality. Is it worth the extra 4 cents per gallon? Is an additive still recommended while using this fuel? Also wondering if anyone has any data on fuel mileage with amoco claiming that this fuel has a 47 cetane instead of 40.

Any input is appreciated. It just became available at my usual fuel source.

Cetane boost is nice, but the lubricity is still at 520 microns, which is the current standard for ULSD. Bosch has stated the desire for <460 to obtain full life from their components.

Given that, if all I need to do is present a couple of receipts for a claim, it seems like cheap insurance.
