Bob,
Just did a quick search to put my money where my mouth is. (diesel fuel btu rating).
What I found is we are both right. Winterized fuel is generally a mix of #1 and #2 diesel. #2 diesel has a btu rating of 138,000 btus, very similar to #2 heating oil, however when fuel is winterized to lower cloud point the #1 deisel that is mixed in lowers the btu rating. So in the summer months you literally get more bang for the buck. Kickin' rump @ 139,000 btu and beckett for more!
Stumpy a.k.a. your local burner tech. not so extrodinare. :)
