Ditto on lubricity.
Interesting paper. Taking a quick scan through the document, I find it significant that the East Coast and Midwest as well as Canada have the lowest Cetane ratings in the world (mean of 44 and 45). They also have the lowest min. Cetane requirements. Right in line with what everyone has always suspected. Goes to show you that the petroleum industry isn't really interested in producing the best fuel possible, just the best fuel that meets the minimum requirement of that region. The most profitable and powerful industry in the world....sure they are looking out for my interests!
