I was averaging about 24.2 to 25.6 mpg average on regular diesel from the station up the street....if I see even a 1-2mpg increase I will be happy! The biodiesel is a few cents per gallon cheaper so that combined with the higher mpg means some savings. Most of all I just like how smooth it runs, its truly awesome, I can pull up next to cars in traffic with the window down and barely hear the car anymore! And thats only on my "B12ish" mix. Also when coasting in the car with no radio/blower/windows up etc...I can't hear the engine anymore either, its really weird! I'm just not used to driving a MB that quiet Then there's that substantially increased power it has now in 4th gear...I like that a lot too, makes passing much easier and no kickdown needed!
