Default Does anyone use Bio diesel?

We now use it in our on road and offroad fuel. My fuel guy says the 2% blend that we are using raises the cetane rating a little. I haven't been able to check my mileage yet but it doesn't run any different.
I understand it will gel a little sooner than normal diesel, in cold weather. But, can easily be used 9 months a year in our area.

I just checked my mileage this weekend. Looks like it went from 21 mpg Hiway miles to 23.8.That was 75 miles interstate cuising at 75-80 and about 20 minutes city stop and go. I'll take that!

2002 F350 single rears, Diablo programer set to 60hp econemy tune, and 34" tires. I had my Ford dealership recalibrate the speedo.
My cost on the biodiesel is the same as conventional.
