How can I get biodiesel fuel in my area?
I checked on mapquest for stations that produce alternative fuels and I only found one station in south florida that carries biodiesel fuel. That particular station is far from where I live, so how can we get one in our area? Also, do cars need any modifications for this alternative fuel?

What are the disadvantages of biodiesel?
To me, it seems that biodiesel is a great solution to petrol. It’s clean, cheaper than petroldiesel, and completely renewable. And to make things even better, if we used algae grown in marginal lands (desert), 0.3% of the surface of America could supply our energy needs.
So, it seems too good to be true. What are the inconveniences to a pure biodiesel or a biodiesel-electric hybrid solution?

They smell like fries. People in America are already fat enough. We don’t need to drive around smell fries and pull into the nearest drive thru.
Seriously though, its main drawback is it has to be used in a diesel engine. They are louder and have worse performance numbers than gasoline engines. Other than being noisy and a little slower it’s a pretty good choice.
