I wouldn't put one of those on my car under any circumstances...seems like a big sign on your rear bumper advertising to any law enforcement officers "I USE UNTAXED FUEL!"

I don't see why. The B99 I use is taxed, my sticker just reads "biodiesel inside", and biodiesel is becoming more available at local retail pumps. Though, I've seen pickups that proclaim something like "I made my fuel myself, it only cost .98 cents/gal", that there isn't wise.

Ditto

NC has become a hot bed of home brew biodiesel and WVO burners and Uncle Mikey (Gov.) is watching.

I say google it. There's a few places and some on ebay... most are like $5. Biodiesel isn't illegal... most people using it are buying commercially available, so what's to hide?

Why would you want a sticker or badge on your car telling the world
what kind of fuel you burn under the hood? most of the people I see
running around Santa Cruz with Bio Diesel stickers are (as Rush describes
them) "long hair maget infested hippies".
I sure don`t want to be identified with this element.

I removed all the badges on the rear end, looks much cleaner.

But if you must.....

The folks around here running biodiesel stickers look like normal people to me. Heck, you'd prob see a few "cowboy" types with those stickers on their F-350s. Blah, Rush can wrap his lips around my big, black.... 300D's exhaust pipe at WOT (with a quart of 5W-30 added to the tank for good measure).

someone actually stole my biodiesel sticker. It said:
Biodiesel Fuel from the southeast not the middle east.
I need to get another one.

I think bumper stickers are just tacky, regardless, and have never had one on any car.

That said, I'm always amused by the "Biodiesel: Feed a Farmer, Starve a Terrorist" sticker.

Cheers, John

Bunper stickers

I have never really liked bumper stickers, but I couldn't resist putting one on that reads -

"No Dinosaurs Were Harmed in Fueling this Vehicle."

There is a web site called "cafepress" that has a bunch of different items, that's where i got mine.
