After a long wait and a couple moves AZ Biodiesel was able to open its doors to the public and start selling biodiesel this past weekend. The biodiesel they produce is a recycled product made from waste vegetable oil collected from restaurants all over Arizona. Currently they are selling the bio for $2.99 a gallon which is great and I’m sure subject to change from day to day. Because they are not a retail gas station you need to contact them to make an appointment to fill up. Follow this link http://azbiodiesel.com/BioDiesel.htm to contact them and be one of first diesel car or truck owners to run 100% local fuel.

On a similar note, Western States Petroleum switched from virgin biodiesel made in Iowa to local recycled biodiesel made from waste vegetable oil. The biodiesel the sell is made by another local company called Amereco. They are currently selling their biodiesel for $3.49 a gallon which is also subject to change. Give them a call to find out the latest price.

Two years ago it was almost unimaginable that we’d have a few sources of completely local fuel made from waste sources. Glad to see these companies pull it off! We look forward to more places to fill up to come! Hopefully we’ll see some of this fuel at retail fuel stations sometime in the future.
