Biodiesel Prices & Locations By State/province

[puntmeister]

I think the reason the standard fuel stations use B5 is because of the low lubrosity of the newer low-sulphur diesels - a bit of biodiesel works to increase the lubrosity.

I'm all for biodiesel - but I wouldn't consider B5 biodiesel. Its diesel, with a bit of biodiesel.

B99 in Phoenix (Western States Petroleum) sells for roughly $4.25/gallon.

I could be off on this, or missing additional points, but I believe the reason biodiesel is not acceptable in the newer TDI's is due to the higher pressures their fuel injectors operate at. Biodiesel is too thick for the high pressure injectors.

All else being equal (which may not be the case), I think the thickness would only be an issue for B100. B5 to B20 wouldn't be substantially thicker than B0 - at least, I wouldn't think it would be so thick as to cause problems the way B100 might.

The Pilot Travel Center on the I-40 in AZ just east of the Colorado River at exit 9 (Lake Havasu) has a "between 5% and 20% biodiesel blend" available: $3.95

I was wrong earlier, all stations in the state of MN are mandated to blend B5 into diesel fuel.

There is another thread started that says the B10 mandate is going into effect next year for MN:

Free $10 worth of B20 in San Diego and Sacremento CA Dec 18-21 2013

Just got an email from Propel Fuels. I wish they had sent this out earlier as I made a trip down to San Diego yesterday...could have waited until today to go!
Actually bought B20 from their Chula Vista pump. $3.99. So I guess you can get a little over two gallons free. Not bad if you're blending down to B5 for the MK6 TDI's.
Their pumps only use any credit card. Not sure if they'll have folks there to take cash for the grans opening.

This is from the email.

huh? your statement makes little sense.....you say a bit of BioD helps to increase the lubricity....in next statement you say you would not consider B5???

so you want more lubricity but don't want B5??

I believe his comment is that he doesn't consider B5 to be true BioDiesel. And he has a point. However, that begs the question: at what level should you call it BD? 20%? 50%? More?

 

[Lug_Nut]

Me? B99 or greater.
B20 to B99 is a "blend".
less than B20 is pretense and theater, but I don't have a CR under warranty so I'll cut some slack for those with CR and DPF.

on a side note: NearBio dot com is "no longer in operation". I'm using Biodiesel dot org in the mean time.

Pacific Biofuels - Maui
Oahu Biofuels - Oahu (Sand Island)
These are the only ones I'm aware of in Hawaii.

As of last year, there is a new Pacific Biodiesel plant on the Big Island that is capable of making 5,000,000 gallons per year of B100. $4.67/gallon for B100 at the pump here: Pacific Biodiesel

 

[sangretdi]

with the government $1 subsidy per gallon currently "gone" the place I buy B99 from in San Jose Ca, Western States Oil/Pacific Pride, has gone up to $5.37 gallon. They produce it, not a reseller so would figure they'd be the lowest cost. A quick check around the rest of the bay area show ~ $4.89 @ resellers.... and $4.25 @ blue sky in oakland who produce b99. hmmmmm.... i buy b99 to have less impact on the planet, not to save money, but nobody likes paying a dollar more a gallon for the same product!

The Pilot Travel Centers in Barstow CA, Boron CA and Hesperia CA all now sell B20.

Thanks, great to see. Wonder if the Pilot in Coachella has uped their blend to B20. 22 April, actually the station in Coachella is a Love's, not a Pilot. Stopped there yesterday and the sticker still states B5.

Stopped today in the Boron CA ( Kramers Junction. Intersection of CA 58 and 395) Pilot and their info label states B5-B20 blend with a B20 sticker.

 

[emscar]

Not at these NH locations

The Evans mart in Epsom/rt 28 does NOT sell biodiesel, this from Dick Evans, the Rt 89/exit 16 location is a Gulf Expressmart truck stop and sells B5 at the pump. NO gallon jugs. I bought fuel here last Tuesday 4/21/14, $4 a gallon. Dick Evans owns this location too.

At the Pilot/ Flying J website, the disclaimer is that they are aiming at a B20 blend; officially, the on-site biodiesel blend can range from 5%-20% (B5-B20)...
