Anyone know why this might be?
Same thing with me - probably because there's less energy in the bio portion, so you end up stepping on it a bit harder to make the van go the same speed as you did on dino. Similar to the effect of using ethanol in gasoline engines that can somewhat adjust for it. If you use it consistently you can make some adjustment to the settings on the inj. pump to increase max fuel injection because of the lower energy content and lower EGTs.
