Question Propel Diesel HPR

Has anyone used Propel Diesel HPR? I received a brochure stating that this new fuel meets the ASTM D975 diesel specification (ULSD) for use in all diesel engines, and it is not biodiesel.

I'm tempted to use this new diesel, but not sure if it will void the manufacturer's warranty. I have a 2016 GLE 300d.

Propel's compatibility page is pretty simple:

Diesel HPR
If you drive a diesel, then your vehicle is ready for Propel Diesel HPR - it’s that simple. Propel Diesel HPR meets the ASTM D975 diesel fuel specification (ULSD) for use in all diesel engines.
Has anyone used Propel diesel HPR in their Bluetec / CDI engines? Given the significant CO2 / NOx / Particulate reduction, i'd really like to use this going forward. Just found out about it yesterday!

From https://propelfuels.com/our_fuels:

Performance
Performance formulated Diesel HPR has a cetane rating up to 75+, 40% higher than regular diesel, for smoother combustion and a better ride. Diesel HPR combusts more efficiently, which means more power and torque for your rig. And unlike biodiesel, Diesel HPR provides uncompromised cold weather performance. Diesel HPR is additized to provide excellent lubricity in all driving conditions and exceeds ULSD lubricity specification.

That guy is talking about dinosaur premium diesel with a higher cetane rating, which is different from plant and biomass-based diesel which Nest / Propel is selling, which has a naturally higher cetane rating.
