While running B100 I tried a diesel additive (RedLine "85 Plus") to see if it would compensate for the drop in fuel economy. It did not make a noticeable effect, at least not enough to compensate for my sometimes heavy right foot.
When B100 got way too expensive I switched to B20 and have used it in all three diesels with good results. Even as little as 5% biodiesel adds enough lubricity to petroleum-based diesel fuel that no other additive is needed. The local source sells B20 for the same price as D2 so it's a no-brainer.
