Unitl I learn to make BioDiesel fuel, I have purchased my first tank from the Ever-Ready Oil Company.
Here is a Shameless Plug:
Ever-Ready Oil Company
1200 1st Street
Albuquerque, NM 87102
M-F 8-5pm Sat 9-2pm
Here are the fill-up statistics to date:
June 6, 2006 B20 Biodiesel Fill-up in Albuquerque
13.397 Gallons @$2.97 per gallon = $39.79
271 miles @ 20.23 MPG - all city driving
May 7, 2006 Diesel Fill-up in Albuquerque
11.272 Gallons @$2.79 per gallon = $31.55
305 miles @ 27.06 MPG - highway driving
May 7, 2006 Diesel Fill-up in Flagstaff
6.546 Gallons @$3.39 per gallon = $22.25
164 miles @ 25.05 MPG - highway driving
May 6, 2006 Diesel Fill-up in Phoenix
12.247 Gallons @$3.09 per gallon = $37.95
309 miles @ 25.23 MPG - city/highway driving
OK, I was expecting better mileage but, to be fair, our new baby was in the shop for two weeks during the duration of this tank-full, continuously being moved around every day and basically getting 0 MPG. I did get 25 MPG on the highway during the trip from Phoenix before the new tires, suspension, glow plugs, etc., so I think that this mileage figure should be closer to the expected norm.
