Help from biodiesel users

Hello! I am hoping someone who uses biodiesel might be able to assist with a project (regular vs. bio efficiency). I'm trying to find the mpg for a diesel truck (non-commercial). All I need is the type of vehicle and mpg. A couple days' worth of mpg measurements would be a huge bonus, but not necessary.

I appreciate any and all assistance.
Thanks so much!

I'll play. I lose about a mpg on the hwy using 100% biodiesel in my 7.3. It goes down from 18.5 to 17.5 on the hwy, which makes sense given Bio has about 90% of the BTU's of regular diesel.

But at about $1.33 a gallon to make, I'll take the loss. I don't really notice loss of power either, even when pulling the boat up to the lake.
