My father-in-law used to work with a midsized biod coop, they used to price based on cost. When road diesel passed biod a few years ago the demand was too high, so they reset their prices to floor at cost, or road diesel plus some percentage. Unfortunately we don't have enough biod being produced fast enough to meet demand at the true price, and it doesn't make sense for the true believers not to be able to pay extra. I believe that is even true here, where we have a much larger coop; they seem to have a similar pricing scheme though I'm not a member so I don't know for sure.
