Stopped by the Supreme Oil station I heard about here and filled up with some of their clear Biodiesel a couple days ago. It was only 15 miles away from home, and I was going out to buy food at the Chinese Cultural Center on 44th St anyway. My tank was about half empty at the time, so I'm running B50.
I haven't noticed much difference from the petro diesel I've always had to use in the past. I haven't tested it much yet, but my engine is perhaps a little quieter running. Maybe a little less max power too.
On the other hand, it feels really good knowing my car is using a cleaner burning fuel and the money I spent isn't going off to the middle east!
My reciept for the Biodiesel at Supreme Oil:
Biodiesel-100% 8.20 gals @ 1.67/gal = $13.69
Fed. Diesel Excise Tax @ .244/gal = $2.00
AZ Diesel Excise - LT Class @ .18/gal = $1.48
AZ UST Tax @ 0.01 = $0.08
Total: $17.25 (about $2.10/gal)
