Yes it struck me as quite high but then anything diesel powered and
not licenced for road use probably runs on red. Construction
machinery and the like.

I have noticed that many of the hire shops pull that ruse as well. Send
a machine back with less than a full tank, and they charge you DERV
prices to replenish what was used, yet it usually comes pre-filled with
red.
