\'fest B-D fuel mileage low?
This question is for those that filled up with the Biodiesel made available at the 'fest:
Did you find that the amount of biodiesel needed to re-fill your car seemed higher or lower than you expected considering the driving habits you used to get to the 'fest?
I'm interested if you were you taking it easy trying for high mileage only to calculate a so-so trip mileage. Or perhaps you were rushing because you were running late and still had a decent trip economy? I'd like to hear a few reports.
Me? I was taking it easy. Mileage was not bad based on the Biodiesel I needed to fill the car, but not as good as I had expected given the route, speeds, and traffic conditions (all nearly perfect for low consumption). I purchased some extra fuel in jugs at the 'fest. These didn't seem to go as far as I expected, but I was in a bit more of a hurry getting back home.
