A recent episode of Frontline covering the topic of global climate change had a segment with the Chevy Volt. While Chevy tried to show off the Volt driving up a not so steep looking hill it turned out the car couldn’t make it and stalled out. Hopefully this was just a fluke and not a sign that things aren’t going well with this promising new technology. Check out the video below and see the Volt doing a whole lot of fail.

If don’t know what the Volt is all about it is and all electric car that should be able to go 40 miles on a 8 hour charge and then is backed up by a gasoline engine to produce electricity to extend the car’s range to hundreds of miles.

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.

Happy Halloween!
