Biodiesel
Hi there.
A lot of people ask me, "Where can you find biodiesel? What happens if you can't find it?"
One, the stations are labeled on this map. As you can see, not only are there several in the LA area, but it would be very possible to find stations on road trips, especially in Illinois.
Two, you can fill up on petrodiesel. And no, petrodiesel is not hard to find. Truckers find it, don't they. Its like this: there are two kinds of diesel fuel, when its made from petroleum and when its made from biological oil. All diesel engines can run on either. The effective differences are that the biodiesel yields roughly 10% less power, it doesn't react well with 30 year old seals, it cleans your fuel line, which means if its dirty it might flood the fuel filter with crap in the first months of using it on an old car, and it emits next to no pollutants.
