bio-diesel

I am new to this forum so i will make it short and sweet. 250 larit 6.0 05 34000. I just finish a long trip to atlanta and on my way home i stoped to get fuel and saw bio for sale. I believe in supporting our farmers. so i tried it. $.10 more a gallon in VA. after 150 miles things are getting better. my mileage guage went up 1.5 miles per gallon. I dont trust it so when the trip was done I filled up and did the math. 2 miles better. OK The noise also was alot better. O it was the b20. I was just wondering when the big 2 are going to ok this in there warrenty. I also own 2 deere tractors, this company will extend the warrenty if you use bio. Is it me our is the I V of forgien oil blocking us from having a better life.

sorry if I got on trip.
Eric

The technology to end our dependency on foreign oil or any fossil fuel for that matter has been around for sometime. What’s been lacking is the willingness to use it. So many economies around the world are based entirely on oil. To suddenly switch completely to one of these alternatives would create mass chaos. This is no exaggeration many governments and their economies would fall and with today’s global economy everybody would be affected by this. It would probably take years for the economy the balance itself and afterwards the world would be very different. Many people fear this others fear the loss of profit in their own pocket. You will not see the wide spread use of oil alternatives until the oil nations, big business and governments find a way to profit off of them and even then the transition would be slow.
