[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 343647, member: 195"] Generic version. During winter months refiners raise their targets to 690 deg finals on diesel ( to maximize heating oil). As the final boiling point goes up so does the long chain paraffin (wax) which cause gelling at colder temperatures. Number 1 has a lower boiling point so it has less long chain paraffin and a lower freeze point, as Somn pointed out you will get less milage as you are getting less pounds of fuel to the gallon.
