Looks like they are giving the tree huggers in Boulder a chance to put their money where their mouth is.

& besides, they save all that cold hard cash every month by not buying soap, socks, or razors, might as well spend that saved money on overpriced bio.

Wink
I have heard that WE (the USA) are EXPORTING OUR BIO-DIESEL!!!!
Whats wrong with that statement??
WE need to have a talk with the farmers that are growing OUR fuel!!
WE need to stop buying DINO diesel all together, and let the folks that refine it have it, and use 100% B100 Bio-Diesel here and support OUR farmers!!
WE need to keep our money at home!!
Our farmers/OUR refiners should charge .10 per gallon LESS for B100 that what ever current dino diesel sells for and we could just say "NO" to dino forever!!
Does it REALLY cost more to grow/manufacture BIO??
