Czech Diesel Better Than German?

Hello,

Due to the extremely high gasoline prices, I was tempted to quickly cross the border the other day and really step on the gas. (88 cents per liter / which is still quite a lot...)
Result: The engine is running more smoothly, and according to the MFA (Multi Function Display), it uses half a liter less fuel for the same route and has slightly better acceleration. I filled up with fuel from a Jet station...
Have any of you "people living on the outskirts" experienced similar things?
Could it be related to the percentage of biodiesel used in Germany?

Matze.

Hi Matze,

Unfortunately, I can't say anything concrete about it. I lack the comparison values with German fuel .
"However, I've been using Czech diesel in my AJM engine for about 60,000 km, and I haven't experienced any problems with it."

Best regards,
Stefan.

P.S.: Could you please tell me which heat shield was making that chirping noise on your car?

While I drive a Fiat Stilo JTD with 150 horsepower, I think I'm entitled to express my opinion.

I fill up my tank in both the Netherlands and Germany, and so far I haven't noticed any difference.

Do Czechs mix diesel with biodiesel or something similar? This might explain the smoother running.

I occasionally fill up in the Netherlands (at Texaco). The diesel there still foams as much as it did here 10 years ago.
I haven't filled up with (highly) foaming diesel in Germany for ages.
However, fuel consumption and combustion noise are equally low or loud with the NL-grade fuel .

Hello,
I've even had a similar experience with German gasoline. For the past 3 months, I've always filled up at Aral, but then I once stopped at a cheaper Total station, just to save money, and only drove about 1 kilometer. I noticed a significantly better response and, subjectively, more power. Since then, I mostly fill up at Total and no longer at Aral.

just occasionally

The other day, there were two glass containers on a table next to the entrance of a Shell gas station. One contained diesel (a yellowish liquid), and the other contained the ultimate V-Power super-premium MegaDiesel (almost transparent).

Yes, those are indeed compelling selling points!

I once won a tank of V Power Diesel. I couldn't notice any performance increase. It just seemed to produce slightly less soot.

Well, thankfully, it's dark under my hat, so the EDC won't notice that it needs to spread Jet .

I was in Croatia a few days ago and noticed the same thing with a 1.9 TDI A6 from 1999.
much better performance! These countries produce diesel from Russian oil.

maybe it's because of
