I know some stores don't and when it gets really cold customers rush to the distributors that mix to keep from gelling. We have a store on I70 and have one tank which is all 1 so the customer can blend his fuel any percent he wants. Our other stores just blend.
Glad you are enjoying your D. I have had great luck with my 4.8.

Gene, you're right, they told me, they do it with an additive package. They also have a summer additive package. I go to a group of stations that sell premium diesel fuel. Cetane rating 49-51. BMW won't allow customers to put their own additives in. It says on the gas cap, no additives. I had no troubles with cold weather this winter. My car does stay in the garage at night. No problems to report so far with my diesel. It runs great and gets decent mileage...
