I just don't know where to start. Briefly, it matters from WHAT biodiesel is blended and from WHOM you are sourcing it as well as to WHAT MONSTER VEHICLE/FUEL ABUSING purpose you are about.

Subsidies for biodiesel only serve the purpose of lining the pockets of a select few, and provide no real benefit to the economy or the environment.<br /><br />In fact, the whole industry is a detriment to all whom it purports to benefit.
