ULSD lubricity additives options

Was wondering what the opinions were regarding possible additives to bring up the lubricity of ULSD. My ideas are:

Adding 1.75 gal B100 to my 35 gal tank to make B5; read that B5 brings the lubricity WAY up, and this would be cheap. I can get B100 for $3.50/gal and keep some in a can in the back for fill ups.

Adding straight vegetable oil like soybean or canola to reg #2. I would like to add just enought to increase lubricity, but not be in gel point danger (denver gets a few 0 degree days. Can get a gallon of the stuff, clean and unused, for pretty cheap from a restaurant owner friend of mine.

Also, I know that here in Denver, Flying J sells straight, unblendend (non-winterized) #2 all year. They say all their diesel at the Aurora station is such. Anyone know of any other place locally that has winter availability of unblended #2?

cheers
