BioDiesel Servo Pricing

[timberwolf_302]

I was just interested in knowing how much a litre B100 usually goes for at a station that sells it?

Alright, forget i asked.:whistling:

The answer is generally 5c/L cheaper than the local price for diesel in the Sydney Metro area. Unfortunately, it's not advertised as such, and only el-cheapo stations are selling it. So no other discounts are likely until advertised and ad campaign etc. And the Fed Gov hits it with full tax, but makers of bio in Australia get a rebate. And we don't.

Try Motormouth (http://motormouth.com.au/default_fl.aspx) for pricing and look for Volume Plus who sell bio diesel. Don't know if it's B100, but they're always cheaper.

In my area - 2040 - volume plus is 6-7c cheaper than others.

But instead of buying from a servo that won't/can't give you details of their fuel percentage or source stock oil, you could buy direct from the plant that manufactures it. The Australian Biodiesel Industries plant in Rutherford (just down the New England Hwy) will sell bulk Biodiesel into your 205l drums for $1.10 for summer BD (30% Tallow, 70% Canola/Safflower oil) or $1.15 for Winter BD (100% Canola/Tallow). As Armidale winters can be as severe as Lithgow winters, the winter grade is a better buy. Is it worth a trip to the Hunter to buy fuel? At a saving of 30cpl, it's surprising how much money you could save with 2 or 3 44gal drums in a trailer!

Just wish they had a depo over my way.
If they did, you'd be paying more than "Gate Price" as you would have to add transport from the plant to the depot.:mad:
