Re: Biodiesel as gasoline additive

The three tanks with a biodiesel mix were 30.37, 31.56, and 33.27. The first tank without is 32.93. Still might be some residue biodiesel there. So we'll have to wait for the next to call it, but...

Re: Biodiesel as gasoline additive

Finished with 30.1mpg yesterday. Had plenty of rain and temperatures dropped. Got 32.4mpg in 35F temps this morning. It looks like the near 60s weather is gone for the year. I might actually be...
