Well,
If you use B99 in Oregon, it looks like you will be able to get 50 cents a gallon back on your State Income taxes (up to $200 per year)
B20 for home heating oil gets 5 cents a gallon up to $200
This was first reported back in March when it passed the House (HB 2210)

Today, it passed the senate:

Since the governor recommended the bill, I would see no reason why it won't get signed into law.
The purpose of the Bill is many fold, with lots of incentives to produce feed stock in state, and they also specify at what production levels there will be mandatory blends in all diesel in the state... Triggers for B2 and B5.
How long until B5 is common in almost every diesel pump? In Oregon I'd doubt it will be long. Then places with dedicated Biodiesel pumps will be B99 or at least B20...
