I thought I would post a couple of comments that I sent out to Chevron and Velero regarding the Cetane ratings of their Diesel, the question I asked was, what is the Cetane rating of your Diesel in the So. California Desert/high Desert area? and these are the responses.
Chevron:
Dear
Thank you for your inquiry,
Cetane and lubricity requirements are as follows:
The minimum cetane number for retail diesel fuels is 40 . This is based on the ASTM test method D613, The Standard Test Method for Cetane Number of Diesel Fuel Oil. The average cetane number for Chevron diesel fuels sold in the U.S. is around 45. In California the average cetane rating can be as high as 50.
Chevron can only guarantee the product specifications. Diesel that is sold at Chevron and Texaco retail gas stations in the U.S. meet ASTM D975, Standard Specifications for Diesel Fuels Oils.

Chevron Fuels Technical Services
Velero:
