#31 of 170 Re: What's good for Willie is good for the USA [gagrice] by gagrice Jul 30, 2004 (1:26 pm)
Replying to: gagrice (Jul 29, 2004 9:22 am) I just received a response from Pacific Biodiesel. "On Maui, our price for B100 is $2.315 per gallon" I think that is a bargain considering Unleaded on Hawaii is generally $.30 to $.50 per gallon higher than CA prices. They hope to expand to the Big Island which would be good for me. The whole Island will smell like flowers and McDonald's fries.

Replying to: john1701a (Jul 30, 2004 3:47 am) The jury is still out when it comes to bio-diesel - snip - BOISE Preliminary findings of a local study indicate burning biodiesel to cut vehicle exhaust may actually produce more air pollution. http://www.idahopress.com/articles/2004/08/06/news/story3.txt Replies to this message: gagrice (Aug 10, 2004 9:20 pm)

Replying to: rfruth (Aug 10, 2004 4:28 pm) I would say they are not looking at biodiesel from the proper perspective. They only analyzed B20 a very diluted biodiesel. Read about this company that has cleaned up a landfill mess by using 40 tons of waste cooking oil to power generators and fuel cars with B100 no fossil fuel used at all. That is progress, and they are making a profit without government subsidies.   http://www.biodiesel.com/
#34 of 170 Service Warantee? by weebil1 Aug 13, 2004 (6:56 am)
Does using BioDiesal violate the warantee? Does anyone know if VW has tried to use BioDiesel as an excuse to not service any problems with the car (anything related to the fuel injectors,hoses, etc)

#36 of 170 from farm to fleet by rfruth Aug 28, 2004 (1:02 pm)
No surprise the person all for this is a farmer but its still a heck of a lot better than having to do business with people we'd rather not associate with - snip - Organizers of an educational initiative to raise public awareness about a farm-generated alternative fuel source believe it not only would contribute to a cleaner environment, but could provide a major boost to Alabama's farming economy. http://southeastfarmpress.com/news/82704Alabama-biodiesel/ Replies to this message: gagrice (Aug 28, 2004 1:48 pm) rfruth (Aug 28, 2004 2:50 pm)

Replying to: rfruth (Aug 28, 2004 1:02 pm) That is an encouraging article. I think we have sat on this fuel source too long. It may not eliminate fossil fuels. It cannot hurt our dependence on not so friendly countries. And help our farmers in the process. I think if the government stays out of it there is a chance for biodiesel to survive.

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 28, 2004 1:48 pm) But I fear the government won't stay out of it, heck Detroit is busy cranking out illogical cars & trucks that are snapped up if there's a big enough rebate . How long ago did we (the government) bail out Chrysler ? Here we go again same song next verse.

#40 of 170 biodiesel in Brazil mandated by gagrice Aug 30, 2004 (7:57 pm)
Sounds like they are serious about biodiesel. I would think they would go to a higher percentage if they can produce enough.   http://brazzil.com/mag/content/view/38/2/
