a little less smoke also. which is ok so i can run around on a higher chip setting and dont have to always leave a huge cloud. i like the cloud dont get me wrong just dont like to feel like an a** always doing it.

There is only 10 stations here in CO that sell it, and on my next fill up I'm going to make the effort to drive out of my way to fill up with BIO, so I can see how my truck likes it.
For what I have been reading it's the good's. I'm also reading up on making my BIO, and I'm hoping to be up & running next spring home brewing.

b-11 is about the only thing available here. I use it sometimes, sometimes I don't. Price is the same as dino here. There is no sales tax on b-11 or higher when buying bulk. I would like to try b-50 to b-100.

i have ran biodiesel for the past two tank fulls (about two months with my driving) and i haven't noticed a difference. i checked biodiesel.org, and to my despair, i found it was only b2, no wonder i couldnt tell a difference. i found a place about 15-20 miles away that sells b99 so i will go there next.

I tried it by splash mixing it. I took B100 and mixed it with regular diesel to get b40 and what not. Mileage went down. It wasn't tath the fuel was bad because the regular diesel was from the same shop day in day out and filled up the other car too so we know the diesel isn't the problem.

In my area, B100 costs significantly more than regular diesel at the cheapest spot. I use B100 just before the filter change to clean out any crud accumulated in the fuel system
