Main > Car Parts > Other > Biodiesel Refueling Easier There's an oddly singular focus in Washington DC these days on electric drive. But what’s holding up the widespread use of ‘green’ alternative fuels like biodiesel and E85, especially in states like California that have long been at the leading edge of alternative fuel vehicle efforts?

The European industry faces the worst downturn in living memory, as consumers put off buying cars, worried sick about job security. As they prune their budgets and brace for stormy economic weather, the last thing people are about to do is buy a new car. The current wheels will surely last another... Full article...
