Hmmm, never did understand that oft-used line of reasoning.
That is an all or nothing justification, which just isn't valid, imho.
Sacrifices must be made in our industrial culture, if you want to drive a car at all, for all kinds of nasty things go into it's production, ect. We could easily say that if you drive a car and consider yourself an environmentalist, then you are a hypocrite. Just doesn't seem useful to me.
But I insist on limiting as much as possible my petroleum use.
And using 20 gallons of petroleum to 80 gallons of oil is not "residual," nor necessary. Good for you if you are really getting organic wood alcohol, but I just keep seeing 30 gallon drums of the petroleum crap down here.
With proper heating, oil is working great with engines.
If people choose to take shortcuts with their expensive cars, that's just their misfortune. Same thing with BD shortcuts.
Your "no matter what, oil will coke injectors" statement just does not stand up to the 100's of testimonials of long term successful veggy use, with no harmful effects.
Check out the Maui board, Biofuels, Greasel, Greasecar, ect.
They disagree entirely.
