Winter gas has more butane; that is cheeper and in larger supply than other compounds in gasoline so the price may go down a few cents. Buying extra winter gas because the price is lower and saving it until summer is not a good idea because the extra butane will just boil off and evaporate in higher summer temperatures. Diesel stays the same year round for the most part except it has anti gelling additives in it for winter. While a lot of refineries add some stuff to diesel to keep it flowing; some truck stops add more just to be sure. One major truck stop does it this way..... For every trailer load of diesel delivered to the store (7500 to 8000 gals) they will add..... One 2.5 gallon jug of winter diesel additive provided by Schaeffer Oil Company when the temperature is between +15 and 0 F. Two 2.5 gallon jugs of winter diesel additive provided by Schaeffer Oil Company when the temperature is between 0 and -10 F. When the temperature drops belpw -10F the driver will load 20% #1 diesel or kerosene and 80% #2 diesel at the rack and will also add two 2.5 gallon jugs of winter diesel additive provided by Schaeffer Oil Company. Buying diesel in a warm state and then driving to a colder state OR buying from a small supplier that does not use much additives may get you in trouble if you do not add a anti gelling additive yourself.
