Yesterday, we had 1000 gallons of B99 (99% Biodiesel , 1% LSD) delivered for 2.40 / gallon. A member has a forklift we will use to load one on a trailer so i can take it home. We will probably save $100-$200 this summer alone on fuel (pays for pump and containers  ) And its pretty convenient having our own filling station under the carport. The time and hassle we will save on stops at pumps is significant too. |
That sounds like a very good deal to me, the only problem is you have to be "based" at home to fill up. Those of us who travel a lot will still need to see BD readily available on the road. I think it will happen, it will just take some time. BTW, do you have to pay road taxes to the distributor in your state?
