All the diesel fuel in Northern Illinois is B11.
I've checked with BP/Shell Mobil/Road Ranger and all that they have is B11. Now I have to buy my fuel in Wisconsin, as I will only want to use D2. In my 2005 PD TDI.
does anyone here now of any pumps in the chicago land area??
i havent seen many - its sad since we are surrounded by corn
i know there is a struggle in rockford to build an ethanol plant
i know in rockford and schaumburg areas there are no biodiesel spots
however heading west into the quad cities there are a few truck stops with various blends the highest being B20 though
I ended up taking a small road trip to find some b20 today, at Dennis K Burke Inc 410 Beacham Street Chelsea, MA 02150. B20, for $4.36, Premium DinoDiesel for $4.38I was also playing around on mapquest and you can select the gas button to get gas prices in different areas. They also do biodiesel and E85.
Why in the Hell would you want to use Bio-Diesel when it is over $5.00 a gal and is worse for the Envirement then Reg Diesel , think about that
Wrong. Now as far as food prices and the cultivation of the materials... You must remember, that unlike E85, Biodiesel can be made from recycled materials. Thank you, come again.
Biodiesel's only drawback is more NOX emissions. Everything else is lowered considerably......
Algae and Jatropha are 2 alternatives to the food vs. fuel debate. Jatropha can be grown on arid land, negating the use of fertile soils used for food. And over time, Jatropha can fill that land with nutrients as well.
Algae can be cultivated in many places, but I'm told it is still in it's infancy regarding oil conversion. If I am incorrect, share the wealth.
