The reason not many places don’t sell bio diesel is because bio diesel is subsidized by the federal government and the places that sell it get a kick back for the gallons they sell. Not to mention that the EPA mandates how much bio must be produced every year and many states have mandated the sale of it. According to the EPA the target for biodiesel production in 2023 was 2.82 billion gallons and by 2025 their target jumps to 3.35 billion gallons. It’s really nothing to do with the small stops going out of business.

The rack I loaded at today had a Loves truck loading ahead of me. I noticed he was turning his Hazmat placards to blanks. I asked him what he was loading. he said the load was 99% Bio and 1% diesel. Technically makes it Bio Diesel and there are some tax breaks involved. Said it is blended at the racks when they load diesel and the percentages of bio to diesel isn't always the same.
