Shell renewable diesel high egt?

Super strange man. I've run Propel renewable diesel pretty often in my truck since I got it roughly 8 years ago and never saw any weirdness. Just recently, I tried R99 from Shell on a 4 hour drive up north and had no EGT swings. On the way home, tried the new Chevron renewable and....also no EGT difference.

Im running a rebuilt 1HD-T and IP so its a healthy setup. In fact, when I run renewable, I find the engine runs quieter, likely due to the increased cetane compared to standard diesel.

Renewable and Biodiesel have higher lubricity from what I've been told by my Uncle who works for Kinder Morgan who transports much of the R99 in Oregon. I also understand that it is chemically identical to diesel but since it has been synthetic it is a higher grade and cleaner.

Since this occurred I have ran 76 renewable, propel and some misc dino diesel. The Dino diesel was smokier but no issue with temp.
It was only the shell and only when first introduced to my local station.
I just keep my eye on temp and use the pedal accordingly.
