Winter blend fuel....in Florida?

[Ninety-9 SE-L]

Long and short, I'm about to take the '22 Eco up from Florida to North Carolina in a few days and I'm likely to encounter some much colder weather than I'm used to.

Reading up, the most important thing I'll need is winter-blend Diesel to prevent gelling. Question is, are the various blends national or regional? Should I top off all 48-gallons before I leave Tampa, or should I wait until I'm further North to get a better winterized blend?

I've seen questions like this many times over the years and the answers are always the same, no one really knows but the fuel distributor. The best bet is to treat your fuel with an anti-gelling agent and carry on.

I'm in NC and have never seen any station here advertise that they use winter blend, though maybe that's not something they'd do. I just use an anti-gel.

I'll have to see. Got no problems with the truck coming up. Hotels, on the other hand...

Our plans changed several times on this trip. Hotel 1: Our entire town has no power. Hotel 2: A pipe burst and we are flooded. We diverted from Asheville to Charleston then onto Williamsburg because we were already on I-95 and we were familiar with both towns.

I did just manage to get my personal best mileage. Power mirrors in and drafting:

It's usually not labeled as "winter blend". It's Diesel #1 or Diesel #2. #1 is the winter blend, but costs more. Pump should be labeled.

This is stupid and dangerous. Maybe don't buy a new truck if you can't afford the fuel.
