Have Y'all Noticed?

I was filling up with diesel this morning and I noticed that there is a cetane rating sticker on the diesel pump now. It gave it a min. of 40 on the rating.

I used to stop at this station quite frequently, but my trips out that way have dropped and this is the first time I've noticed it. Is this something new that it's been done country wide or is this an isolated occurance?

So far it's only on the one here. How long it's been on this one I don't know as I haven't stopped at this one in a long long time. The others that I fill up at don't have it. Just kinda surprised me and I was wondering why they started doing that.

I noticed BIO diesel stickers on the pump I fill up at. It costs more now too. Won;t be going there any more till at least spring. I hate that stuff in the winter. It was B20

None at the station I fill up at. The diesel pumps there are so beat they hardly have any markings anymore.

Have not seen it here in Ky either. I wish they would do that. Cetane rating is important especially if you are running a chip or programmer.

I haven't noticed them on the pumps in Alabama, but I have noticed the price of diesel dropping down to $2.61 a galloon today.
