I am a tree hugger from waaaaay back
but there aint no reason for B20 to be 5 cents higher a gallon than regular old #2 fuel oil

i stopped at BIO willie today on I-45 next to LOVES and his B20 was 5 cents higher a gallon than loves straight fuel
so i did what every cost concenred shopper does



i went to loves and filled up with over a 100 bux of fuel


at 4.14 a gallon it was a bargian :rant:rant

I am still in Chanute KS and had to fuel up today with straight fuel and it was $4.19 a gal.
Don't take long to spend $100 bucks to fill up a super duty.

I thought that filling up the Beast was bad with a 29 gallon tank.

Speedy, my wife's grooming van, takes 35 gallons of diesel when she fills up the tanks. The fleet card will only authorize $125 per transaction. It takes two transactions to fill the tank. At $4.05 a gallon, it takes over $142 to fill the van. Three times a week. OUCH!

At least when I use my truck for company business, I can use the company fleet card. I just have to keep track of the mileage. It helps.

I feel for you Ex owners. Don't you have 44 gallon tanks?

even in 2004 when we 1st got our 6.0 the bio was more expensive
everywhere i ever saw it (virginia etc)...never made sense to me,
so ive NEVER bought it.

Yeah Richard we have Abrams style 44 gallon tanks but when fuel prices was $1.25 a gal it didn't phase us abit,now everything is total opposite.:dizzy

not a big diff really (would love to have any additional capacity i
could get) but 5 more gallons isnt a huge diff. when your fillin' a 39
gallon (160 bucks) tank now.
