Is a 2 cetane increase worth 8 cents a gallon?

Around where I live, there are two places that I buy diesel from. One is a Mobil station in Connecticut, and one is a Hess station in NY. The Hess station sells 42 cetane diesel at $1.75 a gallon, whereas the Mobil sells 40 cetane diesel at $1.67 a gallon. Is it worth spending the little bit more for the better cetane rating? I use Power Service diesel additive with every tank, and will soon use DFC with every tank once my Power Service stuff runs out.
