prices

i just noticed the price of bio diesel is almost as much as # 2 ( 3.49.9) .... i don't see any reason to use it, given that around here you cannot use it in the winter, and also the mileage is not as good .
maybe somebody can tell why bio-diesel is so expensive

I don't think it's meant to be any cheaper, in fact 100% is more expensive.

The process cost more, so far, consequently price is not as good.

But it's much better for your motor though.....

B20 in our area (at the ONLY station that carries it) is 20-30 cents HIGHER than regular old Diesel.

....It ain't easy, being "Green"........




It ain't CHEAP either...

It also depends if you rather give your hard earned dollars to an Arab that would just as soon kill you or an American farmer.

the people that spend the extra time or money on domestic biofuels usually cite personal reasons over economics.
Most like the idea of self sufficiency.
