Re: Mileage question for you converts?

I now have over 2000 miles on mostly veggie oil. I have filled the tank once during that time with diesel for good measure. I went through the original fuel filter in the first 200 miles of SVO, but have about 1800 miles so far on the second. I do not preheat anywhere and have cold started at 45* with SVO and block heater not plugged in. I have noticed that my MPG has gone down a bit with SVO. I just barely made 400 miles on a tank of highway cruising. It is a great feeling though knowing that I have an extra 50 gallons or so of veggie oil in the back of the truck [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img], and that I have spent about $50 in diesel in the last 2,000 miles.
