BioDiesel in Columbia, SC
Visited United Energy in Aiken, SC this afternoon to top off on some of their B20 goodness and some B100. Spoke to Scott and he informed me that their distribution location in West Columbia on Fish Hatchery Road will also have the same fuels as at their Aiken location. That means they will have E85, B100 and B20 at the pump.
Currently they are laying down the foundation for the pumps and will be done in a few weeks 4-6 weeks? I'll call them in 3-4 weeks for an update. Not only is their fuel the best I've run as far as MPG's and engine performance and quiteness, it's very very reasonably priced in comparision to ROTGUT diesel at every station around.

RE: Biodiesel in Columbia, SC
Hi-
I just bought a 93 300D 2.5 to commute between Rock Hill and USC Columbia campus. If you could give me a heads up when bio is available in Columbia, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to give it a try. |

Biodiesel in Greer, SC I-85
The SPINX gas/truck station at I-85 at the Hwy 14 exit in Greer sells B-20 for the same price as Dino as well as E85 for FFV cars. The B20 is called something like BIOWILLIE, endorsed by Willie Nelson......

Went to the United Energy location in Columbia on Fish Hatchery Rd - beautiful new pumps, and plenty of them. B20 @ 2.689 while diesel was 2.859 - the instant I turned the car on it was already quieter and smoother, although my reserve light was already on it didn't have to dilute much with the previous stuff in the tank.
Fill 'R' Up guys!!!!!

biodiesel mpg/300D
Micha: I'll continue to check the mpg, as I know that there can be inconsistencies.My dino figure of 34.3-34.4 is an average over many trips using the same route (home-school), so I feel confident it is repeatable. I'll have to do the same thing for the B20. That will take a few weeks.
iceman: I love the car. I'll post a pic over on the thread where you posted yours. MDM Rock Hill, SC 93 300D 2.5 turbo |

B20 $1.66/gal Tomorrow only
I just filled up with B20 and noticed a sign on the door at the United Energy distribution center. They will be having their grand opening tomorrow, Dec. 7th. 25% off on all alternative fuels, including their B20. Today's price was $2.22, so that would make tomorrow's price $1.66 or so. To bad I didn't wait until tomorrow to fill up! Could've saved 8 bucks or so!
