Here in Phx. It is 3.84 a gallon; however, the state gives a 1.00 tax break so the seller keeps the tax break and gives you the rebate up front. Your cost 2.84 a gallon.

You would think it would be cheaper. In Texas I hear diesel is as low as $2.39.

"In Texas I hear diesel is as low as $2.39."

Most places are still at 2.99
A few have it for 2.59
and even fewer have it for 2.25

Luckily I live real close to one that has it for 2.25

B20 and right now the cost is 2.79. Thats cheaper and more expensive then some places around here are selling premium diesel for. So I am paying the same but since Bio at a 20% mix boosts 65% more lub for injectors I no longer add additives.Eng runs smooth when cold starts.

Hmmmm.....sorry, can't disclose my source.......I swore to secrecy. Have to kill ya thing.

But, I'm going to have to stop burning it as it is adding to my weight gain. Nothing smells better than the smell of onion rings, fench fries and shrimp tempura as I drive throughout the day. Driving me to eat more! ...hahaha......

B99 is $3.29 here in Portland. Wish it were more cost efective. Now that Dino is back down to 2.47 it's harder to want to use the bio.

What I pay

I pay $0.95 to $1.10/Gallon, depending on the price of the matrials that I use to make Biodiesel myself. I get the oil free from the foreign restaurants and use the lye and Methanol from the hardware store and the race track respectivly. Smell depends on what the restaurants were making the day(s) that I collected

Depending on where you are, I guess you can add about $.50/gallon for taxes, making the price about $1.50 compared to dino diesel at the pump.
