I make biodiesel on a small scale. The total cost of making it my self is about $1.00. Even with the added road taxes that makes the total cost of a gal about $1.50. Why then is the sequential biodiesel offered at the pump around $5? It seems that since it is made locally and not a whole lot refining is necessary it should be cheaper to the consumer.
