Does winterized diesel fuel offer any benefits other than its lower gelling temperature?
Winterized diesel fuel is supposed to mean fuel with a lowered CFPP and gel point via anti-gel additives. These additives shouldn't effect fuel energy content.Does winterized diesel fuel offer any benefits other than its lower gelling temperature?

Winter blend diesel fuel has #1 diesel added in some quantity. This is a reliable way to lower CFPP and gel point, but does reduce the energy content of the fuel, resulting in lower MPG.
All of that being stated, buying diesel fuel, winter or summer, is a crap-shoot. You never really know what you're getting.
