P.S. The hot topic on these sites lately has been the road tax situation -- there was recently a big crackdown in Wales, where police at street intersections were instructed to arrest anyone whose car's exhaust smelled like food, and this problem is expected to spread rapidly. I obtained the necessary documents to properly pay the tax in VA, and it requires a 19 page registration form, posting a $2000. bond, and a monthly report, with payment (which would be about $1.75 per month for me, at .17 and a fraction per gallon); the Federales (.24 and a fraction per gallon) have a simpler form and only require a report every 3 months.

I saw that Wales story earlier this month and was shocked.
Biodiesel Outrage!!
Of course, the obvious question is how will Americans move toward using SVO/Biodiesel while avoiding road taxes, and in the process not getting popped.
I say "avoid road taxes" because what self-respecting true-blue American will voluntarily mail in a form to their government indicating that, "I used 100 gallons of canola this month, Sir."
