Stopped to fuel up the CRD. The Mobil station already has
the sticker on the pump "contains between 5 and 20 percent
biomass or biodiesel based fuel"

Ended up with 19.8 MPG hand calculated. EVIC was reading
the same when I reset it.

All city on this tank......

It's still to cold in the mid Atlantic states to go to b99 I would stick to b20 or maybe b50 if it gets cold. I have run b50 once last winter when it was about 30 f. I was afraid of gelling fuel but was ok with some power service.
