Yeah, there no retail b100 pumps within a reasonable distance. I am gonna email some of the distributors and and see if I can purchase it in bulk since I use around 40-50 gallons a week.

I found some of the info on grassolean.com inaccurate on what bio is where.
So i called around to figure out who has what and bio is still
relatively new around here in NH.

Damn lost 1 mpg in both trucks. Guess that could also be do to more agressive driving cause cost is down??

I am just curious

What are you buying that's .48 cents a gallon????? What's your home brew consist of?

.48 cents is still cheap even if they are paying you to take it, best I can tell it's costing me .83 cents not including labor or electricity due to the cost of methonal and lye. methonal has recently gone up I was paying $1.60/gal a couple years ago, last time I bought some it was $2.90/gallon. I can save 5 cents a gallon if I buy a 55 gallon drum. Ok so it takes me 6gallons to make a 30 gallon batch adn at the 2.85/gal that is $17.10 dividing by the 30 gallons equals 57cents per gallon just for the methonal.
