I also wondered what Yellow bioD would have registered as, and if I was running WVO, he would never have known it because he did not ask to look in my trunk or if I was running alternate fuels.
the NC senate passed a law to not require taxes on wvo/personal bioD as long as it's not for business use. I'd not qualify for that loophole, but driving the benz the cop would not know to check my mileage or anything.

Diesel non-truck vehicles make up like barely 4% of the vehicle population. What a pointless "program". Maybe they should target gasser drivers driving with no insurance, that would likely net a lot more $$.
The idiots in power that came up with it probably figured that if a person was willing to drive a diesel, they must be up to no good like running farm fuel.
