Default BioDiesel question - Toronto area

Hi:

Has anyone tried the BioDiesel from the Utopia retail location in Unionville
(Hwy 7 and Kennedy Rd., Greater Toronto Area)? Does this diesel variety gel
in low temperatures? Or is it ok if a diesel fuel conditioner like Stanadyne
is added to it to prevent gelling? Should I use just regular diesel in
winters?

I have a 1992 Jetta TD and currently I use regular diesel (Esso) with a
diesel fuel conditioner (Stanadyne).

Thanks in advance,

Amit.

My Understanding is.... Bio Diesel is better for emissions, IT will
supposedly work well in the TDI.
I sqw a TV show on it not long ago,Apparently in Europe they have Bio as a
mainstay..Its just new tech here. And they say the only drawback to Bio
Diesel is your car exhaust is going to smell like PopCorn......

So everyone behind you will suddenly get very hungry from the smell?...
Maybe I should hook up a hotdog cart on a trailer hitch, drive around for a
bit on bio diesel, then just stop, set up shop and cure the hunger I cause
everyone....
