#1 diesel and than MOST #2."
Becuase a lubricity agent is added, I assume...

Correction: Sulfur lubricates NOTHING! When refining to remove sulfur
from the fuel, often other fractions that are lubricants are also
removed. Unless they are replaced (they often weren't when low sulfur
diesel was first produced) the fuel will have less lubricity. #1 diesel
has the same sulfur content as #2 but #1 has MUCH, MUCH poorer
lubricity. ULSD has almost NO sulfur but better lubricity than than ANY
#1 diesel and than MOST #2.

Jabba,
The reason Toronto is warmer is that we get a lake heat effect, whereas
Barffalo gets a snow lake effect. The lake acts as a giant heat sink and
on cold winter mornings you can see the heat rising off the lake. With
the prevailing winds here it picks up heat and the city traps it as all
cities do with heat.
In summer you get the reverse effect. It is usually a few degrees cooler
at the lake.
Most times I've been to NYC in winter it's been colder than us here.
