B99.9 source in WV

I had to be up in Martinsburg WV last week and I found a source for Pennsilvania Bio.
Inwood Farmers Market, Right off Rt 81. $3.69 a gallon. You have to go into the market and tell them you want to by Bio because the tank and pump are inside the warehouse.
I put 24 gallons in so I was running something like B75 but less then 2 miles down the road everything got spooky quiet. According to the overhead comp I got the same 21.3 mpg that I got on the way up. I didn't expect a huge increase because I keep the fuel clean but the reduced noise was nice.

Bio has better lubrication properties than Dino. If this is the first time you are running Bio keep extra filters in your truck. Bio will clean your fuel system and cause the sludge to loosen. Keith

I run Bio whenever I can get it. It stopped being sold retail around me so I go on the Biodiesel web site whenever I travel to see if it's anywhere close to where I am going.
This is the first time I've ever gotten B99.9 though.
I change the fuel filter every year anyway, I killed my first VP44 by letting the filter plug 21000 miles after I bought the truck new. so now it's a yearly thing. but on your suggestion I changed it again anyway, Cheap insurance and I have a 1200 mile trip over this weekend so I was under the hood giving it a once over anyway.

One thing I forgot to mention. DO NOT get Bio on your paint. Evon though Bio isn't hazardous it will eat paint. Keith

$3.69 is .64 cents higher than #2 here in Montana. I like everything about bio except that! What is #2 there?

It was 3.05. Locally here in VA Beach it's 2.79. I just made the run to NY and back, NY was 3.25, NJ turnpike 2.77, DE 2.97, MD was 2.82.
Those were what I saw along the trip, probably high for the area figuring it was a holiday weekend.

Bio Diesel is like a shock absorber in the combustion chamber. Isn't it grand?

If it is available I will always run it over #2. Here in MD, all the retailers are too far away.
