I see. I am not a big fan of Charlotte.. but I have heard that it's not too hard to find bio-diesel there if you arrange something before hand. Make sure you ask for a price. I have also seen people selling B100 for more than the price of Dino, AND requiring a membership.

I'd say that it was running a little hotter climbing the hills (diesels are more efficient at high temps) and the coasting down hill.

Mileage figures are in
The trip to Florida on biodiesel was a blast, the 240D ran flawless. A little buzzy, but overall very comfortable and dependable. The first 2050 miles were on 100% home brewed Biodiesel
and the latter 650 was on commercial bought b20 . Would have been great to do the whole trip on my home brew , but couldn't carry any more. Mileage for the trip averaged 27.1mpg overall with a low of 24.3 to a high of 29.8mpg. The car only used 1/2 a quart of Rottella synthetic 5W- 40 This July, in the 300D, the mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire to the shore of Bar Harbor , Maine then back home. Total trip should be about 2000 miles ,all on home brew Bio and WVO.
