It is gaining in
availability; my friend here runs her 36' RV on it as well as her truck when she
can and said it is usually competitive with regular diesel and was much less
than diesel after Katrina.

I have looked into biodiesel as an
alternative...unfortunately would have to drive 45 miles to get it....last
time I checked it was running about $3.35 a gal....seemed to always be a bit
higher in cost than diesel...
I'll ask my friend when she gets back in
town. Or maybe someone here knows. I think she said it was about $2/gal but
I'm not sure. Could be less. I interviewed my friend about it for our
region's newsletter. I can send you a copy in PDF form.
Karla,
How much does the Bio Diesel
cost?

I feel this country is simply not trying hard
enough to develop fuel alternatives.
My riding
buddy uses veggie oil in her diesel truck. Its called Bio Diesel and its
very cool. She has been using it for about 1 year and never had any
problems. She said you just have to change your oil filter is just about
it, then you are good to go. She has it delivered or picks it up in big
drums and keeps it at her house. Her truck smells good. Like someone is
having corn on the cob when she drives in.
