It's similar in the UK - places advertise 'biodiesel'. When you look closer, it's B5. OK that's 150% better than B2, but still not exactly biodiesel. Oh, and they charge 2p per litre more for it, despite it being no more expensive for the garage to buy.
However B2 is significantly different in its lubricity, so in terms of engine wear it's still worth having, although possibly not worth paying 5c per gallon more for. --- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We only have one station in the area that is selling biodiesel at > all, and that is B2.
