I think B100 runs around $3.40/gal, while the HF stuff is closer to $4/gal. I recently ran a gallon of B100 that had been sitting for ~6months in my little tractor and it purred just fine...of course, I also mixed it with some used pre-filtered ATF as well, so that purring may have had some contributing factors
FWIW, I had some commercial B100 in a 5gal jug that had been sitting for 2-3 months and it developed some soaps in the botom of the jug.
