Keeping red might be good for availabilty but it's the worst cost/performance option. White road diesel has more detergent and other additives which make it a better quality fuel with lower emissions. And because it's cleaner it gets an EU tariff concession of 6p a litre - so it's cheaper too! Keeping red means we're filling our boats with the lowest quality fuel in Europe while paying (by some margin) the highest price. And the government's idea of taking an "honest box" approach to users self declaring what proportion is for propulsion versus heating and generator use is rediculous. From now on the only motoring I'll do is to the fuel pontoon to buy diesel for my generator and heating (I'm told we're in for a cold summer!)
