I'm new here guys...love the place. Hi.

I just found a local source for B20 and B99.9 but their prices are quite a bit higher than pump fuel...$4.25 for B20 and $4.66 for 99.9.

there are tons of threads on here where people have been adding products to their ULSD pump fuel and getting quieter running engines (better lubricity) and myabe a slight increase in economy. there was a study posted on the dieselplace.com website that sited Biodiesel mixed 50:1 (basically B2) had the best lubricity properties of any of the other products. so my question would be why wouldn't everybody use biodiesel to mix with their pump fuel for lubricity enhancement instead of PSD? it's relatively inexpensive costing effectively 9 cents per gallon more than the pump fuel if you put in 87 ounces for a 34 gallon tank...or just add 2.56 ounces of biodiesel per gallon of pump fuel you put in. the lubricity enhancement kicks the snot out of PSD and MMO and 2 stroke oil too. it's a little more expensive than some of the other products but it seems that benefits out weigh the cost by a little.

am I missing something here? is there any reason to add the other 6 gallons of BD to get B20? unless there is a marked increase in economy, on the order of 4-6 cents per mile maybe, I can't see the reasoning to pay for that.
