Traveling to Mexico in a 08

Is it possible to use the diesel fuel in Mexico? I'm assuming that you can't, pretty sure that Mexico doesn't have ULSD.

What happens if you use regular diesel?

Re: Traveling to Mexico in a 08

The EPA (belatedly) noticed this problem and was talking about handling it somehow, last I heard. I doubt it's happened yet. They were talking about making sure the main highway fuel places had ULSD, for instance. They seemed to be thinking about the class 8 truckers mainly, not people heading off into the boonies on vacation or anything. It would seem to be a problem!
