Gas Stations
New member here, but wanted to let you all know that the Delta
Sonic in Downers Grove, IL 1415 Ogden had D2 for $4.19 yesterday and the Road Ranger in Lombard, IL on Roosevelt RD offers both Bio-Diesel
Yellow backgroud B6-B20, clearly marked with the bio-disel disclaimer)
and Diesel (north pumps, clearly marked and identified as ULSD) The
diesel is B5 or less according to the attendant I talked to. The
northern pumps (diesel) also have a Green backgroud with the ULSD
disclaimer). I've been filling my 2011 TDI GOLF @ Road Ranger since I've
had the car, about 20K miles on her. I live in Chicago IL but work
out in Lombard and those are the only 2 stations that I have been to
that offer the B5 or less fuel or D2 fuel. If it wasn't for these 2
stations I would be SOL.
Also I went to 2 Citgo, 2 shell, 2 Thorntons, 2 Mobils and 2 BP's in my
area (Niles, Schiller Park, Chicago, Des Plaines and Park Ridge) and they all have the bio-diesel disclaimer. It really is crazy hard trying to find this
fuel and I do dislike having to be so conscious of where I'm at and how
much fuel I have left. Still debating getting a new GTI since the mileage
is 21/31 but ive heard as high as 33-34 with a DSG. Don't get me wrong I love my TDI and my combined 40MPG is hard to get rid of, but
the GTI will give me a little more zip. Anyway I enjoyed reading the
blog, very very helpful. Keep up the good work.
