But will any of us TDI drivers in Eastern and Central Canada get to utilize this fuel?

A few years ago (quite a few probably) I thought there was a company in Thunder Bay making a bio blend of diesel fuel…..

Probably mostly rapeseed and soybean oil. Maybe some animal fats also.

It's already in the USA, I fill up with it all the time in Southern California. Seems to be cheaper than Diesel No. 2, and from what I've read about it it's just as good for your car, and it even burns a bit cleaner. You do lose a little bit of MPGs but it's negligible.

Renewable diesel production outpaced commercial FAME biodiesel production in the US for the first time at the end of last year. Looks as though HVO will probably outpace FAME by a wide margin this year.
