I paid $3.63.0 per gallon for B99.9 last Thursday here in Melbourne, Florida at Glover Oil (Glover Oil) and it was .26 LESS per gallon than the Sunoco truck stop where I USED, I repete USED to buy my fuel.

3 years ago when I bought BIO from the same supplier it was .17 MORE than regular Diesel.....

Thats right. Reason? Supply vs Demand. Only areas with a high bio demand will have lower bio cost.

Alot of farmers run it in their tractors and buy it in bulk but it's just too expensive for me there are no coops or fuel stations that have and b blends in western Kansas
