This week it's Biodiesel 101. We'll introduce you to one of the best alternative fuel options for your vehicle. It's sustainable, renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic, reduces greenhouse gases, and can be produced domestically. Biodiesel is interchangeable with petroleum diesel so you can switch back and forth between the two or even blend them together. Devin O'Keane (devino@care2.com / www.veggiebus.com) of the Chico Biodiesel Collective provides details on using biodiesel in your vehicle and "home brewing" it yourself (and saving big cash).
