Hi There!
Wondering if all places that sell Diesel in NZ sell the same thing? With Petrol I bought 98 Octane for my higher performance vehicles, wondered if the same applies to high performance diesels?

pdath: A little bit outside of my area, but I believe only 1 grade of diesel is sold at service stations. Different brands might have different additives and the mix will vary seasonally, but on the whole its not like the octane rating of petrol.
Stations that have a high turnover of diesel won't get the level of moisture in their fuel, that smaller stations have. Largely due to condensation etc in the tank being absorbed by the fuel.
Other than that, pretty much anything will run fine in a diesel. I used to run my 4.2 turbo Nissan Safari on transformer oil. Ran a LOT better than on Diesel, and it made the mechanical fuel injection quiet.
networkn: I filled up last night for a grand total of $67 which was an incredible saving over what it cost me with 98 petrol. I was overjoyed. Other than the Diesel rattle, I am MIGHTILY Impressed with my new car!

Listed pump price $1.099 - 12c discount with our fuel card = 97.9c per litre! Unbelievably cheap motoring compared to petrol.

Occasionally, when driving up in our VW Golf, we get a well-meaning truckie telling us that they don't sell petrol at this truck stop

To top it off, I have 3 year warrant, and 30,000KM service intervals. I'll have sold this car before it needs servicing :)

What sort of vehicle do you have with a 30,000km service interval?
My Golf is 15,000km, although it is over 4 years old now.
