Lightbulb Re: B5 blend and the small commercial producer

Why not try lobbying your MP suggesting that the governemnet at Federal, state and local level make their fleet purchases conditional on being able to run on biofuel blends?

Senator Barak Obama (a potential Presidential Candidate in the US) said recently...

Quote:
let's make sure that US fleets, meaning cars that the US government buys, we buy thousands of cars for various agencies and departments, lets make sure that all those are fuel-efficient, that they're hybrids, that they can take ethanol, or other bio-fuels that would be a lot more efficient.
you can read the rest on the big biofuels blog (sorry guys, couldn't resist that )

But anyway, he suggested that ti would be a good idea for the US to do this and said the only reason that they're not doing it is a lack of political will.
