fter years of starts and stops, the next frontier has finally arrived for biodiesel.

Starting Tuesday, Minnesota will require all diesel fuel sold here to contain at least 10 percent biodiesel -- except during the winter, when the requirement will be 5 percent biodiesel.

Currently, state law requires every gallon of diesel fuel to contain at least 5 percent biodiesel -- and 2 percent during the winter -- so supporters are excited to see Minnesota raise the bar to a highest-in-the-nation level.

Illinois diesel usually contains about 11 percent biodiesel. When VW TDI owners asked VW the answer was "All Volkswagen TDI models are warranted for the use of up to a B5 blend. Blends of biodiesel higher than B5 void the Volkswagen warranty."

After alot of back and forth since VW TDI owners in Illinois had no alternative to the higher biodiesel, VWOA basically stating that they will honor warranties in IL where there may be up to 20% Bioblend.

Wonder if this was a corporate move or Illinois forcing VW to change.

It was my dad’s. My uncle had it for about 20 years, and just sent it to me earlier this month. I feel 17 in it, and Dad’s sitting next to me with a gin and tonic in his hand, saying, “Easy on the clutch there, baby - I’ll spill my drink!”
