Well around here almost everyone sells 40 cetane. Bp sells 47 premium diesel for the highest price in town and the truck stop has 45 cetane. I just go to the truckstop which happens to be the cheapest in town

I make a Citgo stop (Thomaston) every week because it's convenient...have no idea what their cetane level is, but I get 22+ mpg on a daily basis...(-2 mpg on winter blend).

BP supposedly has the good stuff.

Here, their price is competetive ($2.45 at the moment) and they have pay at the pump which for me is -5%. Even better!

Thanks guys, Jleonard I have driven thru your neck of the woods plenty of time, me and the family every now and then will head out that way and just drive and try and find new places, plus it gives me a chance to let the old girl stretch her legs (my truck not the wife ) does CT even have any BP stations? my best tank so far has been from Hess, but the Berlin tpke is the closest I have, I also think im seeing a loss because of the winter blend and someone posted about the wrong tire size throwing off the mileage calculations, im running a 285`s and on Jannetys dyno it showed a 4 mph difference.

I usually get the BP premium diesel at the local truck stop about 4 miles from me. Not sure what the cetane rating is on it, but it's about .09 more than the regular diesel around back where the big rig's go... they also sell B20 there for the same as the premium diesel (last time I was there it was 2.54)
