How will the cost per gallon differ from the ULSD being offered now?

If history stands true the price will be the same as ULSD even though it cost less to manufacture. Those that make profit of of the sell of bio will not provide it at a lesser price than ULSD. This is the historic problem we live with. My question is "when will someone provide a alternitive fuel like bio and supply it to the public at a fair price. Not what ever the market will bare."

Will I use it? I did when I lived in Texas.
1st you have to have a diesel vehicle. Second, its the same as using ethanol in regular gasoline. 80% regular diesel, 20% biodiesel so you likely won't know you are using it unless there is a sign on the pump. Third, you have to find a station that is purchasing the biodiesel that is stored in that tank.
So, will I use it? Only if my gas station is.

For the same price, I'll opt for convenience. I'll buy whatever my local station has, which will probably remain ULSD. Fuel prices are completely out of control, something needs to change. I understand the laws of supply and demand, but still don't get how a less refined fuel can cost more than regular unleaded. I bought a diesel vehicle for fuel efficiency, but apparently the "higher ups" don't accept that and counter it by jacking the price of diesel through the roof.

I forgot to add.....

I'm no mathematician, and I know they pay a lot in taxes, but big oil is getting richer and richer off of us. Their profit margin goes up skyward year after year. It seems to me if they'd be willing to cut profits by just 1 percentage point prices would decrease. The NC State sales tax per gallon of fuel isn't helping matters either.
