That makes sense. I remember seeing gelled diesel during winter. I was figuring that they had solved that problem by now. Do they still have diesel heaters on cars?
My father has run diesel cars in the UK for the last 20 years (I learned to drive in one) and they're truly amazing vehicles. I've not been able to tell that his last few cars have been diesel until he commented, or I saw the D on the back... no noise, no smell and 50mpg. Depressing. I believe that he's running a Ford Focus Turbo diesel for business right now. I know that he never puts additives in his fuel, despite the cold UK winters.
