But.....that 10 to 15 cent increase, primarily due to a lack of competition in the Petro Diesel market.....has made it just that much cheaper for me to use Bio Diesel......I will be making my own here shortly.....and will just wave at those stations as I pass them by......
So if your customers decide to pass you by....because you took what the traffic would bear, rather than being fair and interested in an alternative that would be good for us all.....please don't whine too loudly!!!

BTW.....I drive my 100 miles (one way) to Pittsburgh, once every other month or so....and get my B100....and blend it with Petro, here on the farm for use in my tractor and car......
