Idaho Falls to Spokane is about 380 miles.

If gas tank volume is 12 gal, that’s about 32 mpg highway. Not bad, but not 55-60 mpg like a Honda hybrid.

Biodiesel can be attractive but tends to congeal and corrode seals. Wonder how they handle those negatives.

Exclude filters and seals in the warranty?

Hydroformed stainless tubing would take care of any issues with biodiesel ... plus, most systems have a pre-heater to heat the fluid to avoid congealing.
