ULSD makes more power than #2?

I have noticed that ULSD makes a good bit more power and runs crisper than off road fuel (used off road only of course). This is not at all in my head, there is a clear difference, why is this? Cetane rating? Thanks!

it is all in your head. the cetane rating is usually a little higher for lsd. also more than 95% of the off road fuel is ulsd. the only difference is the red dye

i run better on the lsd... the extra sulfur does something to make it run better, i was once told it was for lubrication?
