I'd thought it would have been more. I stand corrected. The place I buy it at is a WNY Carwash chain. It's $3.15 now but I get a 0.08 cent discount for having their monthly Super Kiss wash package and also get another .04 cents off by tying my ch3cking account to my account there. When I drive into PA on I90, it's much more than that. Kentucky last year was about 2.60ish or so.

Diesel prices are ranging from $3.69 a gallon up to $4.09 a gallon depending on where you buy it.

Here in central MI we have been 3.09 or 3.19 a gallon for the last year. None of the stations around here list a cetane rating on the pump.

Better be careful because if CARB,climate change peeps, AOC and her crew as well as others, petroleum would be banned.

Rest easy...




I'll never see it in the near future unless I'm 3000 miles to the West with my 16.



I like the fact that you guys have 50 cetane fuel, ours has a sticker on that says 40 cetane MIN. What are you boys paying for a gallon of diesel out there?
$4.20 in Sacramento! BTW I read that it's not bio or petro..correct me if I'm wrong

No you're correct and Holy SCHIT!!! That's expensive!

It's considered a renewable fuel I guess.

I've always used the Power Service (grey) for me, been great for many years on my older rigs.
might have to try Opti-lube out and see if there is any difference.

You posted this in the Propel fuel thread. I'm thinking you meant to post in the additive thread here that's been going down?

No problem... I'd love to get some of that Propel fuel to see how it is. Not cheap but not like I'll ever try it because I'm 3k miles away and have ZERO plans to go to California anytime soon!

scary, in reading the ad for the new fuel...it reads to me like kerosene....which would make all the claims about oder , Nox, etc true....but kerosene has no lube value. what is the lube value of this new fuel. Its not bio blend because bio blends do have greater lube value and at the same time higher in NOx. unless I missed the lube value part.

Bio-diesel has a much higher flash point (266F) than normal diesel (126F) which is important in the combustion chamber. For these two reasons is why I think they limit the biodiesel content in the manual to B20 which still maintains similar autoignition and flash points to that of normal diesel. While the HPR Diesel promises to meet all the ASTM D975 for ULSD, they don't mention anything about its flash point or autoignition temperatures.

Bio fuel has high Nox than number 2 diesel, and the general thought is the B20 rating is due to the max Nox emissions goal.
