Remember the laws on acceptable road fuels vary by region. While straight SVO is illegal in England, it is perfectly legal (unregulated) here in Alberta. Some retailers are mixing bio-d into their pumps and advertise it as an enviro feature. You can buy 100% bio-d in Germany, on the autobahn. You can fill up your BMW on 100% hydrogen in Reykjavic, Iceland, on HWY 41 exiting town. You can plug in your Nissan Leaf for free at most parking lots around here. I digress...

Just remember, the internet is a region-free forum. It speaks to the world. Your local laws are your concern to go figure out before venturing forth. But maybe it would be useful to have a local laws thread, and post your findings there? Decide for yourself if you want go with or against them.

Also remember this is not a private forum. Many people make the assumption of what gets said here goes unseen, and remains underground. You can't hide from the law here, cops read these forums too. If you post here, your local enforcement agencies may very well use it as evidence against you if you're found to be contravening local laws. Google makes it very easy to find stuff posted by you, kept forever, on the internet in Google's cache.
