I wish such plants would start appearing in the UK, all we can get at the moment is a 5% blend from a very few and far between number of filling stations, I am keen to start using a higher percentage biodiesel blend once my warrantee expires - if it proves cost effective.

I have filled up with Rix Biodiesel before, but I ended up paying a considerable extra premium for a 5% blend that achieved around 5 mpg less than my usual fuel - I'm not sure why.
