It seems that its not easy to find it anymore in my town. It used to be everywhere.

Same here...2 years ago they built & opened a new gas station which had B20 available...a year later it was bought out by another oil brand and the B20 went away. :unknown:

I'd love to run Bio fuels in EVERYTHING I own, from an "ethical" standpoint of I'd rather support American farmers then the middle east.

My main opposition to ethanol and bio diesel is using food stocks for fuel. Making bio fuels out of bio mass I'm fine with. But using food stocks for fuel concerns, nay scares me. Using food stocks for fuel runs up all food prices. Grains used for bio fuels reduces levels available for feeds and processed foods. The increased inputs cost to produce the products increases the cost to the consumer driving inflation. Increasing acres planted for grains to be used for bio fuels has a negative impact on habitat for wildlife, reducing hunting opportunities. In Iowa it is now rare to see a pheasant, quail are extremely rare. Planting fence row to fence has a very negative enviromental impact.

Coming at this from the farmer side, I dont think that's true at all. Do you know how much farm land is sitting idle right now? Some by "Choice" and some because of Gov programs/payoffs?
Short term it would/could pump prices up, but I can tell you that if prices were to jump like that I'd be able to head home and farm....and much more idle land would be tilled again. More Land, More Crops, and prices would go back to normal..in the process employing more farmers and american workers.
