45+ cetane in Virginia
It may sound stupid but the reason I'm posting this is so others can find it later. Why? Well I was in my new Golf TDI last month on the way home from points north, getting toward the end of the second tank that had ever been pumped into the car, and looking for good diesel. I pulled over, googled it on my phone, and found this thread's mention of the 45 cetane at Mr. Fuel off I-95 at exit 104... which I visited shortly thereafter.
So here's a list. Hopefully others can google it and find this thread later and it will be helpful. Feel free to add to it if you know of additional stations anywhere in Virginia. [Edited from original request for stations just in central Virginia.] Here goes...
