Diesel is perceived to be dirtier than petrol so, hence, attracts a higher tax. Another way of looking at it would be that diesel used to be cheaper than petrol and a lot of people bought into it for this financial reason.
When enough people were driving diesel cars the government spotted an opportunity to raise some money. When the demand for heating oil rises in winter, increases in diesel prices tend to follow. Using premium diesel fuels, like Cenex Roadmaster XL , may cost a few cents more per gallon than using typical 2 diesel in the short-term. But over time, premium fuels can save money by reducing downtime, extending equipment life and improving fuel economy.
Cenex Roadmaster XL includes a special additive package that help with the removal and prevention of carbon deposits in the fuel injector for optimum engine performance. Cenex premium diesel fuel has a higher cetane number, better lubricity and injector-cleaning capabilities compared to standard 2 diesel.
Higher cetane equals a shorter delay and better ignition for quick starts and less pollution. Lubricity reduces friction, which extends the life of the fuel pump and reduces downtime. Got questions?
