Sunoco Gold Diesel

Anyone know of the difference, if any between regular diesel and gold? According to Sunoco's web site gold has an additional additive package for corrosion resistance and lubricicity? If fact, the extra lubrication would possibly be good, especially for VP-44's. I used to work for Sunoco in Canada and contacted some friends there with this question. They haven't got an answer for me yet. The refinery makes one road diesel cut (soon to be ultra low sulpher content), so the additive package is going in at the bulk plant. Any ideas, thoughts, experiences etc. out there.

Mr. Mike.
