Yeah, I have been glancing around online. It looks like DFW has a better BD following than Houston. I saw one place near where I live that sells BD but they state you have to bring your own container due to some licensing issues. I suppose if I had a tank in the bed itself that could be a "container" There was another place but it you have to have a fleet or commercial account and doubt I could manage one of those. I'd assume B20 is a bit cheaper than B100. If you can not find it for less than $2.39 then $2.19 is a good savings if you fill up as often as I do. I have actually debated an exhaust or even chip for this just in hopes of getting 1-3 more mpg like some claim to gain. Sadly the cost of those would pay off within 1 year or so due to the fuel savings and never thought of things like that to be able to pay for themselves in that little time.
