Want cheap diesel? Buy B99...

Strange times, these are. I didn't think this would happen for quite some time, but what does one know. Regular diesel isn't much cheaper here in Austin, TX than elsewhere in US: the "cheap" Exxon station I drive by every day just hiked diesel from 3.19 to 3.29, others have been selling it for more for a while. However, I filled up with B99 for 2.99 per gallon at Ecowise last Sun. They got the Austin Biofuels tank and pump there now. This curious disbalance won't last, I'm sure, but still, it's amusing while it does.

Last Nov when I bought the car regular diesel was ~1.80, B100 was 3.20.
