Well I went to the track Thursday night and my best time was a 9.19 in the 1/8th mile, previous on off road fuel was a 8.96, had the same 60' times and reaction times, so it's a little slower on the bio-diesel but for $1.00 a gallon I believe I'll have to be a little slower, if I go (when I go) back to the track I'll make sure I put some diesel back in it a couple of days in advance. As far as the fuel mileage goes, not sure I reset my tripometer when I disconnected my batteries to hook up my new lights. My dad is recording about a half mile per gallon less than he was getting on diesel.

for the money, that is excellent, 1/2 mile, mpg is only 19 mi. difference in a tank (based on the 38 gal tank) for filling up for approx. 1/3 the cost, i could live with that.

Hi just saw this thread. I just started running B-50 in my 96. After the first tank I acctualy got 1 mpg better than with straight petro. Just changed the filter. It seems like I have better power and I deffenatly have gone further on this tank. I'll let y'all know tomorrow what the mileage difference is on this tank. Dercody how you like being red horse, I'm prime beef

I'm a Veteran now, was RED HORSE '88-'91. Still involved the the military though, I do powerpoint for the Nellis AFB chapel for the contemporary service. Teased one of the Prime beef guys there, (there are 3 of us from the HORSE there, 2 active duty and myself) told him that we build the forward bases and they sweep them LOL! cool though, loved my time in the HORSE. Actually loved my time in the USAF totally, but my time in the HORSE was the best. Stay safe.

I've got a guy in my unit from the triple nickle. He and I are headed to the sand box soon with the 419th out of Hill. We'll stay safe. As for my mileage on this tank, not what I was expecting, only .5 mpg more but I've dusted everybody so far that has tried to line up against me.
