Premium Diesel
I stopped at a truck stop today. The diesel pumps in the car lanes had #2 diesel and for 6 cents more a gallon there was premium diesel. I have always used #2 diesel. What is premium diesel?

one of the chain stations where i get diesel at (company that i work for makes us buy there) has premium diesel fuel. says premium on the pump,on the hose it says winter blend.
in the summer months we will run #2,so as far as i can tell the so called premium here is just good ol winter blend that wont gel or ice up as easy as #2 does in cold temps.

What's the difference? I had no clue. I've never heard of it. So, as suggested above, 'Google it'! So I did:

Considering a diesel engine is capable of running on vegetable oil, or old McDonald's French Fry grease, I'm not paying the extra for this. The price of diesel fuel is 50-75 cents higher than Regular gasoline. I think I'm already paying enough.
