For folks in the southern part of Fort Worth, TX:

Love's Travel Stop
10801 South Freeway, Fort Worth, TX 76140-7545 (817) 293-5118 ‎
(It's the I-35 Garden Acres exit)
Sells B10 at the pump (sign says it's a mix between 5% and 20% bio, whatever that means).

Also, it's been mentioned here before but Texas Biotech in Arlington sells B99, and it's like $0.50 cheaper than regular diesel. Really nice folks there too, they were really gracious about pumping me .7 gallons so I could make the B5 mix that my 2011 Golf warranty requires... I believe he said it was made from virgin soybean oil.

Used Bently Biofuels yesterday on my trip back from Reno NV. About 2 miles off of US 395, so close to freeway. Their general store is closed on Sunday so I used my VISA. (NO AMEX accepted). Averaged 50 MPH back home doing 70. Also got up 85-90 when passing slower cars.

B20 3.92. They have B50 at the pump now, assume for the winter.

Bently's fuel is top quality. They test every batch in-house. I have used their bioDiesel it since the day they began making fuel. I sold it for three years without issue.

Simple Fuels Biodiesel also sells ASTM spec B99.9 made from WVO sourced in and around Reno and Lake Tahoe.

Chilcoot, CA (just north of Sierraville, CA)

Their cloud point is nice and low and they, too, care for their fuel appropriately. Bulk delivery available, but I'm unsure of whether or not you can fill up there on Hwy 70 at their plant. No blends available yet.

As of today, the Meijer fuel station on Adams Road in Auburn Hills no longer carries bio.

Bummer.

I think many Love's are now selling biodiesel in varying blends. The one nearest me is in Loxley, Alabama on I-10 and the website says they're selling B8.

As of Saturday, the 76 Union station at the corner of SW Cascade and Greenburg Road has the best price for diesel #2 (B5) @ 3.75.9/gal. that I have found. In southeast, the ARCO station at 111th and Foster also is priced pretty reasonably, though I have not passed by for a few weeks. An ARCO with diesel is a bit unusual around here.

B20 $3.65 and B80 $3.60 This has been the unchanged prices for almost all of 2011 and all of 2012 Jan 29th now too.

We will swap you for small quantities of waste cooking oil for biodiesel. Call before you come for this as it takes some time to test quality and quantity.

Come by and see us!

Yes, I have been here a number of times. This is one of the only places you can get B99 in LA. I am a fan.

First post here, but I have read many of the threads before.
I live in the Toronto, Canada area (east end), and I am looking for somewhere I can get B100 delivered in bulk to my home. I have been surfing the internet, with no luck so far. I ran all of my cars on Bio for years, but the last station in the area closed over a year ago. I would be willing to participate in the collection of WVO if someone is looking for a junior partner in making this stuff.......the satisfaction of running my cars on Bio is worth the effort!

Make a post in the Ontario section - you'll get more feedback. Last time I checked, there was a coop or 2 west of Toronto, but nothing in toronto proper. Milton Truck Terminal used to sell Bio, but it stopped a couple years ago.
