One thing to watch out for when you first switch to bio is your fuel filter. Bio has a solvent type effect and will break loose crud deposits in your tank and fuel lines.

I ran b20 up to PA and back last week and got 23.8 mpg round trip, and this was between 72-78mph.

It would be better but unless you have a fuel pressure gauge it would be better to error on the side of caution rather than the side of the road and replace the fuel filter after the first few tanks. Cheap insurance.

I would buy it if I could get it here local. Every gallon we buy is one less that comes across the pond and a little change in our farmers pockets.
