Anyone notice that it is hard to find CETANE ratings at filling stations in Canada? I decided to email some companies and post the replies here. My understanding is that the minimum requirement in Canada is a cetane 40. Anyone else ever pay attention to cetane?
I was inspired to do this research after reading BleachedBora's thread on fuel economy: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=200694
Here is the summary as of the last edited date below:
