Took my yearly 2000+ mile trip to Oklahoma and back last weekend.
Averaged 33.5 mpg with a high of 37.5 and a low of 28.5. The low was on
a tank of 11% BioDiesel (actually when mixed into what was already
there, it was more like 6-7%). That's consistent with what I've heard
and read, but contrary to what I'd read, the several tankfuls of
biodiesel I had previously used (all 20% from the Navy Annex station in
Arlington VA) had given me economy at least equal to conventional #2.
I averaged about 70 mph for most of the trip (sustained speeds of
between 55 and 85 mph at different times). I was driving my 190D 2.5
turbo and running the AC almost continuously (outside temps between high
70s and mid 90s).
