I will be keeping a record of my milage on B100. My baseline for Dinodiesel #2 is 23.3 mpg average over 17 records, highest mpg= 26.6.
The one possible dificulty is that I live about 15 miles from the station that sells Biodiesel. If I'm concious enough to plan my fillups in advance I will be filling up with biodiesel as much as I can. If I find myself in a fuel bind, I'll be poping into a regular diesel pump, but I'll try to keep records on the milage between biodiesel fillups and subtract those out of the data. By the way, this fuel does not smell of chemicals and is light amber in color. It smells sort of "sweet". The odor coming out of the tailpipe smells "clean", as in it does not smell like I'm doing damage to my lungs being around this stuff. I like it.
