Lower EGTs with Bio?

Lower EGTs with Bio?
This may have been covered in another thread somewhere, but I did not see it....
Would it make sense at all to have lower EGTs running bio than what you would otherwise experience running regular #2 diesel?
I've been keeping an eye on my pyrometer, and it could be just my perception of lower temps and not reality....... but it seems like I may be running maybe slightly cooler EGTs after 6-8 weeks of running B20 exclusively.
Does this sound like its probably just me wishing it were the case, or would it be possible?

IMHO, it's because it's an oxygenated fuel. I think it burns cooler and more completely because of it's oxygen content.
BTW..........Love your new avitar!
