Bio-Diesel Cars???

Question

Next year i'm getting my licence and I want to get a biodiesel car. What gas stations have bio-diesel? Also, what car dealers have bio-diesel cars?

Answer 1

Any regular diesel car can use bio diesel. VW and Mercedes sell diesel cars, see the 1st source. Most diesels in the U.S. are trucks, see the 2nd source.

You can buy bio diesel at some locations, but it is still hard to find. Willie Nelson (the singer) has a chain of stations that sell bio diesel in 7 states. See the 3rd source for locations.

Answer 2

2000 and newer diesel cars and trucks.

unless you make it yourself, it's not worth it.

bio-diesel is currently .20 per gal. higher than PD

Answer 3

At the moment, Bio-diesel is something that YOU would need to produce.

Since it is something that you can produce on your own, there is little motivation for a business to do it for you.  You will always be able to get it cheaper locally than from some large producer. Granted, no one has produced a car yet into which you can dump the cooking oil, and the car converts the cooking oil into a fuel.

It's a messy procedure if you haven't seen Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame doing it in one of his shows on TV.

Answer 4

Just get a later model diesel car. VW, Mercedes, and some Jeep products are all I know of in the US. Europe has several good small diesels that get wonderful mileage. I am hoping more will be offered here now that people are beginning to get more interested in them.
