10-4 App

So.. if you haven't checked it out... do... Android and Apple... That being said, do the fuel lanes for semi's have DIFFERENT diesel than the auto lanes? I've been using the APP and filling up at the SEMI lanes but have lost about 3mpg when I do... SEMI lanes gets me 15 mpg and auto lanes get me 18ish MPG.... WHERE I get the fuel is the only difference..

Maybe a different blend.

Found this online:

"Biodiesel generally yields lower fuel mileage than conventional diesel, with a roughly 10% decrease in efficiency for pure biodiesel (B100) due to lower energy density ( content). However, common blends like B20 (20% biodiesel) typically show negligible differences in performance or mileage compared to conventional diesel."

This is crazy! I think Ill continue to stick with only using autos only pumps.

that is odd because bio generally gives me an MPG boost of about 1mpg and the engine runs smoother. B20 specificallly.... but THAT is not the issue... none of them have had bio.

I honestly think it is winter blended fuel for the big rigs... my last fill up was auto lane and I can't wait to see if there is STILL a difference.

Just doesn't make sense having additional blends of the already "winter blend" 🤣

I get it... but also why I posted here... trying to make sense of the results I'm experiencing. The 17mpg fills ups were regular Auto lane diesel...

Your problem could be the Edge Juice most likely too advanced in timing. Then how many miles on your injectors? As injectors wear out the pop pressure falls off for every 10 bar drop the injectors gain 1 degree advancement. This mean you would have to reduce timing in your tune to keep numbers up. Then the high cetane of biodiesel is lower BTUs but also needs less timing (retard) to burn efficiently.

Quadzilla im starting at 12°BTDC at 1500 RPMs. Im not sure if your Edge has any timing adjust.

No Edge tuner (just there as a monitor), less than 30k on a reman motor with NEW injectors and no bio-diesel...... that and the mileage changes in accordance of auto or semi lanes when purchased.

Weird. I would consider either grabbing a small sample and testing both. Maybe catch the delivery truck and talk to him. See if your state has different policies. Last time I caught Maverik delivery I was able to find how much additives are being added.
