dtibbals 03-12-2008, 01:46 PM I have an 06 LBZ and found a local station that is selling B11 for $3.33 a gallon. All normal dino stations are $4.09 and up now. Is there anything to be worried about using B11? My dmax is 100% stock. The temps are starting to break and seeing mid to high 40's now. Dave pasquale 03-12-2008, 01:50 PM from what ive read gm approves up to b20,expect some decreased economy and more frequent fuel filter changes,at least when you first start using it dtibbals 03-12-2008, 01:51 PM so b11 will cause lower mpg then I am getting now? if so how much? TNDmax 03-12-2008, 01:54 PM so b11 will cause lower mpg then I am getting now? if so how much? I tried B20 on a few tanks last fall and noticed a 1.3 mpg average drop over my regular weekly commute. dtibbals 03-12-2008, 01:59 PM sure would seem worth it when your saving $0.76 per gallon. Prestonia24 03-12-2008, 02:38 PM Seems like a done deal to me, I only wish that Bio was cheaper here! i'd kill for anything less than $4 Diesel... tinman22 03-12-2008, 02:40 PM I thought I read in the diesel suppliment manual that they dont reccomend bio over B5? I could be incorrect since I read that over 2 years ago fanzdslpwr 03-12-2008, 02:58 PM why would bio cause lower mpg? i thought it would have more lubricant ability causing better mpg adamrc 03-12-2008, 03:25 PM Go ahead and run it B11 isn't a high percentage of biodiesel but it will really help out a lot on the lubricity of the fuel. You shouldn't notice any drop in fuel mileage. You may even see slightly better. I run B100 as much as I can in my LBZ without any problems. GROOT 03-12-2008, 03:34 PM why would bio cause lower mpg? i thought it would have more lubricant ability causing better mpg not as much potential energy in biodiesel compared to dino fuel, so in theory you would need to be on the throttle more to make the same power. lubrication has nothing to do with it mileage-wise Rockin C Racing 03-12-2008, 05:36 PM The factory will only honor up to B5, but people (me included) run B100. B11 won't be a problem. B100 becomes a problem when you start to see temps below 35* dtibbals 03-12-2008, 06:23 PM I called a station that has B99 and they want $5.45 per gallon!!!!!! How the hell do they figure anyone would pay that much when dino is $4.09? Its just crazy! bballer182 03-12-2008, 07:29 PM The factory will only honor up to B5, but people (me included) run B100. B11 won't be a problem. B100 becomes a problem when you start to see temps below 35* Wish i had the time and money for that. I think i'm gunna start driving my little s-10 for a while. @25mpg:) Duramadmax 03-13-2008, 12:16 PM I called a station that has B99 and they want $5.45 per gallon!!!!!! How the hell do they figure anyone would pay that much when dino is $4.09? Its just crazy! Probably due to the fact that the base stock (Soy, or other oils) has gone up like diesel due to the ethanol rush and even that is hurting...Plants put on hold due to high feedstock prices. Oh well... | ||
