My next door neighbor's daughter's ex-boyfriend has a 2-tank conversion Mercedes and runs Costco veggie oil all the time. I don't want to go the conversion route but I bet I could mix 1 part veggie oil to 3 or 4 parts B100 (we are now paying about $4.35/gallon here in NorCal) without any problems, especially in warm summer weather. Maybe even in our mild winters, but I'd like to hear from someone who has done it first.
