Learned something new yesterday.
I didn't realise we had seasonal formulations of Derv.

From November till March it's distributed to stop gelling at low temps.
Apparently causes lower MPG in the oil burners too.

. I think it’s also one of the factors why diesel increases in price over winter too. The X5 which is mapped idles like crap on it.
