Mexico has a much better standard for diesel then both canada and the
us. It follows the specs of europe fairly closely.

Like the rest of north america it is 0.05% sulfur, but unlike us, they
do not use the ASTM spec for diesel when it comes to the cetane rating
(40). They use the better DIN spec which is 50.

I'd use the diesel they have over canadian diesel anyday...well, perhaps
not on very cold days.. ;-)
