Going to phenoix last week pulling a 2 horse trailer I filled up with B2 prior to leaving. Mind you I had half a tank of regular diesel. My egts were running high and I got about ten miles to the gallon. Went about 150 miles filled up at a petro on half a tank with 2. My egts droped around 300 and i had noticable power increase and made it to phenoix another 170 miles on just over a quarter of a tank. This was all night driving with ambient temps of around 80-88 degress. Coming back just filled with 2 and my temps stayed down and had plenty of power and this is with an average ambient temp of 100 degress. What is everyones elses experience with bio?

That's strange. I haven't noticed a bit of difference between straight #2, b2 & b5.

No change in EGT's when I run B5.  Mileages seems to drop about 1 MPG

I have noticed running Bio that I loose some mileage. Nothing with the temperatures, I would think the temp should run lower with Bio, doesn't it have more lubrication properties?
