Paying for Bio at the pump: How much?

Well, I enjoy burning Bio when I can, but the only local source for me seems to be a Shell station carrying B99. I've filled up quite a few times, but all dino-fuel prices spiked for summer, they raised the price an entire dollar and still sits there. $7/gal gets much more difficult to justify when dino-diesel is back down below $4/gal. For a 40 gallons, when the difference was a dollar and a half, it was not so hard to choose. Now, it is.

So, why is it so high? Merely because they are the only game in my locality? Is B99 (or whatever bio) priced so high for others? I feel like calling them up and asking them to lower the price, because I get the feeling it's artificially being held there.

Thanks for any input y'all might have.
