Want to use alternative fuel? ...got a car that could, but don't know where to get it?

 

Maybe you are like me, and just have an interest in the topic and would be happy to know it is available if you ever go that route. Thanks to a conversation i had the other day in my office at Keller Williams, i'm now aware that alternative fuel is indeed available in this area, and it is affordable!

 

Here's a map and list of local alternative fuel providers, with information on the type of fuel that they carry. As you can see, it is here, it's a start, and i would say that we're not doing too bad for this neck of the woods.

I read in the local paper not long ago that someone was converting their home furnace to run on used vegetable oil, they had already converted their car.  Interesting concept!!

This is really interesting that it's available. Does the government know about this?? Seems they usually put a lid on the things that are really good for the environment. I hope this is the start of a whole new trend that is long overdue! Thank you for the post!

Think of it.  We need something realistic.  Like fuel from H2O.  Plenty of that around.

It's good to hear BP & GM talk about alternative fuels, but 50 years to implement is too long.

Perhaps this link will spark more attention:

It is GM's electric concept car the Chevy Volt.  If more people begin to demand alternative fuel cars, we should be able to speed the rate at which the technology is developed.
