Premium Diesel Map, 50 Cetane minimum

[Cosmo's UNA]

Has anyone established a data base, even an informal one?
Here are three in Central Virginia, all are Southern States, all are 50 cetane.
Stevens City, VA, 5784 Valley Pike
Staunton, VA, 650 Lee-Jackson Hwy
Lexington, VA, 645 Waddell St and South Main

Any station advertising 50 cetane is just that advertising. They only have to meet the minimum and there are no testing standards for anything other than that. It's not like gasoline. That's why you can't find any list. This is only my opinion as I have never been able to find any facts on higher cetane values only minimums.

Someone started a thread ten or more years ago on the subject. I'm going to directly contact a distributor here in central VA. My 03 gets +2 mpg with the 50 cetane. You know damn well if a station was charging for premium gasoline and giving you regular at the pump there would be trouble in river city. Too bad individual state's weight and measure certifications don't (or do they?) keep track of cetane values!

So long as the fuel meets minimum valve (I think it's 40) no one cares what the rating is from the scale and measure department. While higher cetane is bennificial, most stations arnt going to put a "premium" diesel out there and not charge extra for it.
