I use Maine Standard Biofuels B99.9 as it is made from recycled WVO, and is ASTM spec fuel.
The environmental impact/costs of using Palm oil or Jatropha, or any raw oil suggest that it's not a real win for the Climate Crisis Issue, and it's far better if we can use recycled oil as the feedstock.
Of all the companies listed, does anyone know which ones are using WVO as their feedstock?
I plan a X country trip to Washington State in June 2022 (Climb Rainier) and would like to run my 2002 Jetta on WVO-based Spec B99 Biodiesel. I expect to have jugs in the trunk, and will have about 1000 mile range between fillups.
Anyone know the economics of adding a trailer to haul a barrel of fuel on a trip? Reduction of mpg? Hard work trying to be a purist...
