My B100 in that platform ends up being city, so crappy mileage. Dino
gets me 35 highway, B100 got about 30. Both at 85mph summer, flat
land, 10 hours days, hauling my own fuel (b100)

No hard figures, but here's an anecdotal point. In Ann Arbor, I
adjusted the ALDA while I was running B20. When I moved to Auburn, and
started running stra

My guess is the electronic engine management on your TDI is
compensating for the lower BTU's in the B100, whereas the older cars
with mechanical systems cannot do that dynamically. I have heard
that you can gain back some performance/economy from an older vehicle
by advancing the injection tim

Bio has a higher cetane number, which might effectively advance

at least up to B20 or so.
We run B100 in our '03 TDI and B50 in our '82 240D.
Our results are basically the same as yours, but I
think we've had low to no drop (0 to 10%) in mileage
on B100 in the late model TDI; anecdotally, the older
the engine (or design thereof), the bigger the drop in
mpg going to biodiesel - any hypo
