Also due to FFV. Flex Fuel Vehicules that GM and Ford produced. Most FFV were the larger SUV and trucks. They sold them as FFV knowing that there isn't no where enough gas stations for people to buy e85 and that e85 gets way less MPG. It allowed them to recieve an EPA credit so they could produce lower EPA MPG standard vehicules.
I love biodiesel. Used to go out of my way to buy it and would carry 5 5 gallon jugs to get me a months worth at a time. How ever using 100% BioD in modern engines isn't something we've figured out yet. Yes you can use 100% bioD. But there is issues. In the new diesel cars any more than 10% bioD contiminates the engine oil and requires early oil changes.
Not upto speed on what OTR big truck or trains need.
