I live less than a mile from the Pentagon citgo, so I'm very much looking forward to B20 from that station. Right now, the closest Biodiesel for me is B100 in Taylorsville, MD - a 90 minute drive (each way!).

So I figured I'd go grave digging since I haven't seen much on good diesel in the DC area lately. Where is everyone getting their diesel these days? Most places I'm finding are all 40 cetane. Also of note is that the Quarters K Citgo by the Pentagon that sold the bio fuels has closed....

__. If you're out on the road, "Mr. Fuel" at I-95 exit 104 (north of Richmond, near Kings Dominion) has 45 cetane fuel for about $3.70 (last week). I've used it often for the past 8 years and it's always worked pretty well.

Just found another BP/Amoco Premier Diesel, 47, $3.96, at the corner of Roosevelt and Wilson, just off Seven Corners (yes, indeed, for you non-locals...Seven Corners is an intersection in NO. VA...a real nightmare...).

Anyway, the station is a gas-and-go variety, so good luck getting any info about the number of gallons they pump, etc. The BP/Amoco (Route 7) and Shell (Graham and Route 50) are legitimate garages, if that makes a difference to you.

Any updates on this thread... I just bought a car in Alexandria, I live in Arlington and I need to find a good diesel station soon.
