winter = worst milage?

[E300D]

Hi,

Lately Ive been noticing decreased fuel milage in our 95 E300D. I dont idle the car for long in the morning (up to 5 min).


What can you guys tell me about the diesel fuel sold in the winter months. Do the gas stations add some anti-gel chemicals and that decreases the performance?

Also, my MB car manual says that if "winter diesel" cannot be obtained during cold weather, the owner should add kerosene to the fuel tank.

Can you guys educate me on winter diesel fuels.....Right now im going to hit the search buttom....


Thanks
