Bio Diesel
This subject has been mentioned in the past by others but here is a recent experience.
We just returned from a two week trip to and from Oregon to Colorado. I keep careful records on all of our trips to compare over the years, so I am sure of the facts.
We fueled up in Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon at a number of Truck Stops. At one Truck Stop in John Day, Oregon, and another in Medford, I noted that the pumps sticker stated that 10 to 20 percent Bio Diesel was the fuel. No other stops on our trip had Bio Diesel.
After fueling up at these stops I observed a noticable reduction in power while driving until our next fuel stops. I also noted a lower MPG than normal when driving with both tanks with Bio Diesel.
When I fueled up after driving with Bio Diesel in the tank, fueling with normal Diesel, power and MPG got back to normal each time.
I also noted that Bio Diesel cost $4.25/Gal, just the same as other Diesel.
