Ok,
So we have to come to terms on something. Although we are "tree recyclers", and run a really "green" shop, I like to think we retain some of what I call the "manly green" here at MSWT. We recently switched to 100% (almost) bio-fuels.
Up first is what we call "the frydaddy", which is our 2000 F-350 diesel, responsible for hauling, looking cool, and fetching. Way back when diesel hit $4.99 a gallon at the local chevron, I, after consuming about 4000 Tums, called the great folks at plantdrive.com and converted this bad boy over to burn straight veggie oil.
See picture - my version of the "flux capacitor" Thanks doc........
Also the smaller truck is fueled with 100% E85, or corn alcohol. Aka the stuff you drank by the gallon in college. Its a great fuel, but the exhaust smells like burnt whiskey, which I found out after a hangover, is not good.
So, although we are green, we like to retain our greenness in its most manly form (hopefully). Maybe whitney can ditch the Prius for a veggie truck.......ha!
More later......
