Found it .... Valero cetane for California is listed at 50 and Texas at 48. The other brand names for Valero are Diamond Shamrock, Shamrock, Ultramar, Beacon, Total.

For those wondering what cetane is ....
Quote:
Cetane number or CN a measure of the combustion quality of diesel fuel under compression, one measure of fuel quality. Cetane number is actually a measure of a fuel's ignition delay; the time period between the start of injection and start of combustion (ignition) of the fuel. In a particular diesel engine, higher cetane fuels will have shorter ignition delay periods than lower cetane fuels. Cetane numbers are only used for the relatively light distillate diesel oils.
