Just paid $2.81/ga for B20

Holy cow. Last time I filled up it was $2.65 and now it is $2.81. I need to switch to WVO.

I wish I could get B20 here in AZ. I can only get B100 at about $3.00 and my understanding is not to get this without some modification to various rubber pieces, gaskets, etc. in the fuel delivery system. I'm running dino diesel...it's about $2.45 lately.

Unfortunately this is the only biodiesel pump in Chicago. I think its crazy that in such a huge metropolitan area that there's only one biodiesel pump. Not only that, it is stuck way out by O'Hare Airport. I wish I could get it in bulk for cheaper.

I was just out there last night, filled up my first tank of biodiesel. I figuired I paid ~$0.25 more a gallon and had a 40 mile round trip to buy biodiesel. The only benefit was that you're close enough to O'hare, in between the approaches for 9L and and 32L, to have good entertainment while you refuel.
