Diesel in Russia
Motorbike riders get to chose between 98, 95, 92, 80 octane, etc.. 4x4ers have only "дt" to chose from. Well, not quite: petrol stations sometimes advertise different kind of "дизель" (pronounced deesly') with different prices, but I couldn't understand the differences, maybe somebody could shed some light on this ?
There is plain "дt" and sometimes "евро дt" (euro diesel ?), is it some different refinement grade ? note that any kind of fuel that remotely resembles diesel will fire my 130 cv, naturally aspirated 4.2l toyota, but I wonder if it matters for modern turbo-common-rail engines.
Then there are different prices for дt. Usually it's around 32-34 rub, but I got it once at 30 rub. The guy at the window moaned a bit about it, but finally unlocked the pump. Maybe it's a special price for lorries ? or .. ?
