[Biodiesel In Utah] My biodiesel adventure

[ErnsDesk at aol.com]

Hello, folks,
 
Let me tell you about my recent adventure--
 
There is a new biodiesel plant starting up in Spanish fork, Utah:  
_www.betterbiodiesel.com_ (http://www.betterbiodiesel.com/)   On last  Wednesday, a 
tanker truck picked up 3,000 gallons there and left for Southern  California.  At 
the same time, I filled up my 2003 Beetle.
 
The truck was headed for Marina del Rey, just South of Santa Monica.   There 
was a boat there that was low on fuel-- the "EarthRace."  _www.earthrace.net_ 
(http://www.earthrace.net/)   This  super-high-tech boat is going around the 
world, running on biodiesel, to promote  use of renewable fuels.
 
I had been invited to visit the boat with my friends at the company.   And, I 
did.  As I mentioned, I had filled my tank with the same  biodiesel.  On 
Thursday morning, I left Pleasant Grove, headed for Southern  California.  I set 
the cruise control at 60 mph and drove straight through  except for a few 
necessary stops.
 
Trip distance:  693 miles
Fuel used:  10.5 gallons..
 
I got 66 miles per gallon for the trip.  (Hope you don't mind a little  
bragging.)
