The difference is that IL doesn't mandate the biodiesel content. There is still straight diesel available there. Retail pumps are required to be labeled with their range of biodiesel content when it is above 5%.

Other states like Minnesota are discussing a mandate of B20 (20% biodiesel). That is going to be a problem.
Yep. That's why I went with the 335i. I didn't want to take the chance. Probably why BMW does not sell too many diesels in the Midwest. Which is unfortunate because the torque and the fuel efficiency of these engines is amazing.
