Well I have been running B20 for a few hundred miles.
Beleive it or not the power and milage are equivalent to summer diesel.
This makes me ask, Is the 80% petro part a standard #2 or is it more of a winter blend?

The 80% petro is probably the local winter blend, to prevent gelling.

Yep, I asked the main guy. He said it is 40/40/20.
40% #2/40% kerosene/20% biodiesel.

Here we use a 70/30 blend of 70% #2 and 30% #1
I noticed tonight that Farm Service has a Soydiesel with a 50/50 blend but I don't know what the 50/50 is.
#2 diesel and soyoil?

It is still pretty cold in Iowa this time of year. So I would guess that they are still adding Kerosene #1 like they are in all of the other cold states. So maybe it is 50% kerosene and 50% biodiesel.
If it was 50% biodiesel and 50% petro diesel #2 it would have a very high cloud point and high gel point. Too high to drive in these low temperatures.
