Default Re: Clean My Ride, Flex My Fuel

OK, i looked at it. Interesting. I have recently converted my diesel bus to run on Waste Vegetable Oil - which is different from BIOdiesel (even biodiesel 100); which should be mentioned as a very sustainable option --- basically individuals take used vegetable oil (corn, soybean, etc) from restaurants and filter it at home and put it directly into the diesel car/truck/bus/ship that they get around in.

I hope you do make progress on the GRASSES, as opposed to corn.
Also, can regular gas vehicles be modified to run w/ E85? I ask because it was a relatively simple 1/2 day process to get our diesel bus to run on Veggie Oil. If existing cars that run on gas could have their engines modified to accept E85 you could have a lot more success than people having to buy new cars.

Currently i know of one gas station in Los Angeles (brentwood) that is going to carry this fuel. Are their others?
