Site for checking out your local laws and incentives for alternative fuels.

Pretty good reading here:

It is now my understanding that for the most part, as long as you pay the necessary taxes expected from you for your use of diesel fuel, you can make your own biodiesel.  Here is a link showing fuel tax for March '08.  Even if I had to pay the .27 state tax, and the .24 fed tax, that would still put me at 1.50-1.80 a gal.  I can handle that :gap:

Red,
A lot of the things I am reading are claiming that B100 reduces engine power and fuel economy up to 20% :yikes:  You havent mentioned anything that extreme that I recall, just a small decrease.  Can you elaborate a bit? :thumbs:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."
