Diesel Fuel cheaper than gas!

Well , ok , depends on a few things , regular diesel is about 5 cents per liter more here right now (roughly 20 cents a gallon more). I pulled into the esso station in the city on my way home to fill up the other day , because a phone call home told me that diesel was a couple cents more at home. I pulled in to fill up , and noticed the green pump over beside the car wash, big green one , with one hose , and one button , big words , BIO DIESEL on the side , so i wandered over , 89.9! cheaper than gas! I promptly wheeled the truck over and proceeded to fill my tank to the top with this funny smelling diesel. I don't really notice any performance difference , maybe a little tiny less power , and less smoke ( i think , i have no tail pipe right now) and no real economy change. The only thing that bothers me , is the smell from the exhaust , this stuff STINKS...

Sort of doubt it was 100% bio.
Did you notice what percentage it was?
