Yes we do need it. Regular gas is creating alot of air pollution and w/out it we could get out of our country's dependence on foreign oil which will probably help with things in the Middle East and with national debt. Go E85!!!

Ethanol and biodiesel are completely different.

Ethanol is a wasteful red herring.

Biodiesel really works.

PLEASE STOP CONFUSING THEM!

Biodiesel is available in every state. It's fairly easy to make, even for small co-op's. It can be made efficiently using supplies from CostCo and a racing supply. You'll find biodiesel brewers in any college town, and it's not that hard to set up yourself.

SVO and Biodiesel gives you about the same fuel economy (within 1-2%) as fossil diesel.
Ethanol does not :(

It's kinda weird that biodiesel (which works) takes a back seat to ethanol (which kinda doesn't). Meanwhile electric cars (which really work well) were crushed.

I am in California, the largest consumer of motor fuel in the country.

I do NOT want biodiesel or ethanol fuel in this state, because it is a waste of energy to plow ground, fertilize, plant, grow, harvest, and then process food plants into fuel.

It takes 2 gallons of oil to create each gallon of biodiesel or ethanol, and the only reason it costs less is because the government subsidizes the producers.

We would all do better to buy hybrid vehicles and quit buying anything except local foods and goods to help save energy; biodiesel and ethanol are blind alleys, not solutions.

There are here in Oregon. There are many stations selling B99 (99% bio diesel) in Portland, and it is pretty readily available up and down the I-5 corridor.

I haven't any very own useful adventure of bio so can in elementary terms answer in line with 40 years of twiddling with diesels. With any fluid going thro a filter out,debris sufficiently small to pass thro the little holes will do in basic terms that. larger lumps will fall to the backside or block the holes,dependant on the size of the lumps and the size of the holes. ultimately the holes will all be blocked and the filter out will grow to be "blinded" Thats why we ultimately exchange them,yet think of roughly this,because of the fact the holes steadily get in part blocked the filter out filters better!!! I in no way exchange gas filters till i've got self belief the beginning up of gas starvation. Saves a small fortune on my fleet. Having pronounced the obtrusive we ought to now evaluate temp. we've all suffered waxing of gas in the previous(those people who're the right age) relatively solved with a drop of petrol in the tank, yet those days the gas co.s try this for us. yet do bio fuels have something to end freezing or waxing??????? with the point to respond to your Q i could say NO the undertaking ought to consequently be sludge from tank or very grimy gas i could extremely desire to comprehend the style you get on! sturdy success

Come to Illinois. There all over the place here. It is also driving up the cost of food prices. Ethanol is way over rated. Stick with fossil fuels. I gotta eat.

There is Willy Nelson's bio-Diesel stations. Fourteen in Texas. There are pumps in six other states too.

Yes I do.It is easy to eliminate getting rid of grasslands because you can get the produce from a Field that is all ready being used.

No. Destroying grasslands and forests to plant row crops is the most environmentally destructive solution to our energy needs.

Beautiful Kansas.

Say NO! to ethanol.

NO

Ethanol lowers your MPG by 20% to 30% and cost a lot more. So does bio-disel and low sulfer diesel.
