Thank you, Ed, but I was actually wondering why the whole world had overlooked the fact that there was a reduction in mpg with ULSD, Perhaps it was because nobody felt threatened by a better substitute? "Methink the lady doth protest too much!" Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytofore

The difference in calorific value of biodiesel of 10% is a theoretical one - the biodiesel contains around 11% oxygen in the molecular content. However, this oxygen causes the fuel to react quicker and better than petrodiesel, with the result that the energy produced is relatively greater. This ac
