My understanding is you have different grades of it and that I would guess how much is the petro stuff vs veggie. I heard once the B20 will turn to gel at something like below 30 F degrees. I just glanced around online and see B100 is sold in one spot near where I live but you have to bring your own container for it. I once saw an article about some guy in California who makes his own biodiesel from waste oil at McDonalds. He has to warm his truck up on the real stuff but then can switch tanks to the bio. I forget the number it claimed he spends on fuel per year but it was insanely low. He was getting the waste oil from McDonalds for free. I have heard that you can no longer get the waste veggie oil for free, something about how the government cracked down on it due to it being a way to avoid some taxes on fuel or some crap.
