I should be running #2 diesel

I filled the tank on my diesel Jetta at a truck stop but in the car lane. They said it was #1 diesel and was 25 cents higher per gallon than the sign on the station. The sign reflected #2 diesel.

I was driving down the road and decided that I should check the owner manual, my wife looked it up and sure enough it specified #2 diesel using #1 up to 50% in the winter only. Further stated that my mileage would be reduced if running the blend.

I am going to seek out #2 diesel. Comments?
