Well was going down I35 this weekend and decided to pay ole Willie a visit at Carlc Corner. Pulled in and found that out of 8 pumps only 2 were working. Pulled around back to get in line to find a huge fuel spill in the gravel that was left there. After waiting for a good 5-10 minutes on the big rigs we took off. I would of loved to try the B20 there but fix the pumps and clean up your spills....

If you're ever down this way again, I PERSONALLY filled up at the LoVe's at 287 and 67, they are advertising BIOWILLIE and it was the SAME price as regular diesel. $2.27. Only problem was its on the big rig side with the high flow nozzles.

I drove by Carl's Corner twice this last weekend and now I'm glad I didn't stop. Really wanted to try the bio and even had a new filter with me. In the last 8 years that I have been going to San Antonio from KC, Carl's sign has been detiorating, so I kinda associated your expirience with what I thought it might be like.

I've experienced the same problem at T.W. Brown Oil in Ventura, CA. First time I filled up the pump started to slow down to the point it was pumping well under a gallon/minute so I called it quits at 3/4 tank. Sencond time no working B20 pumps. They are charging $3.00/gallon for B20, we could only dream of getting it for $2.27 out her in CA :bawl:

Nice to hear of the place at 287 and 67. That was the original route that I was going to take on the way out of town but went down 35 ONLY to stop at Carls. Came back via 67. Now I know not to go 35 for B20 and will pick it up at Loves next time. High flow pumps are cool as they fit my truck and its much quicker.

I can only assume that ALL Love's are doing it...but I'm not sure. I bet it says on their website. This Love's is new and clean....the other one, on I-35W (southside of Ft.Worth), isn't quite as accessible etc, but is usually a few cents cheaper. Incidently, while driving to the fire station this morning, I saw that diesel was $2.25. If cost is your main issue, the Wal-Mart in Hillsboro (just south of the 'merge') is $2.17 for regular diesel ($2.14 if you use the Wal-Mart gift card).

Yep it mentions a new B program they are starting with Willie. I'll have to check them out.
