>> my 24 valve Dodge diesel ran fine << It matters not how many valves it has but whether it has the new particulate filter control system required on all new model year 2007 diesels or later. High sulfur fuel will clog the particulate filter and trash the catalysts used to control NOx in the model year 2007 and later diesels. Knowing this change was coming I deliberately bought a M.Y. 2006 diesel instead of a M.Y. 2007 so they could get the bugs out of the new emissions control systems on somebody else and so that I could burn any kind of diesel I find. If your Dodge is M.Y. 2006 or older, it will be fine burning cheap crap diesel.

“gas tourists” who, Mexican service stations near the border with El Paso estimate, account for a 50 percent surge in gasoline sales here over the last several months. (Similar increases are reported along the border all the way to Tijuana.) Even the Mexico Tourism Board is promoting the journey. One Texan in the trucking industry, who declined to give his name for fear of being prosecuted for tax evasion, said he saved $12,000 a month by fueling his four-truck fleet in Mexico. nytimes.com
