Comment
Hello

After much research, we purchased a diesel car in January 2007
specifically so we could run it on Bio-diesel.  Although Berkeley
is a good ways from our home and business, we find ourselves in
Berkeley often enough to make purchasing our fuel there
worthwhile. BioFuel Oasis has a successful record of supplying
biodiesel for over 3 years and is the only place to buy biodiesel
at a public pump in the Bay Area.

The new location will make biodiesel much more accessible, not
only to the Bay Area, but to travelers on the busy I-80 corridor
and the layout of the station would make fueling up a breeze
compared to the difficult access to the pump now in use at the old
location.

BioFuel Oasis is a small, locally-owned and women-owned business
with the money staying in the state and local community.  I think
it is important to support local business to keep competition and
variety in the marketplace. Bio Fuel Oasis strives to get
biodiesel made as locally as possible from recycled vegetable oil.
 For the past year, all the biodiesel they've sold has been made in
California from recycled vegetable oil.

The use of biodiesel translates into lower carbon
dioxide/greenhouse gas emissions and lower particulates, which
means cleaner air and less global warming.  The better access and
ease of use at the new location can't help but encourage existing
clients to continue purchasing their fuel there.  The greater
visibility on the new busier street will also assist in
introducing passers-by to the concept of switching to bio fuel.

Please support Bio Fuel Oasis as fully as possible.
Sincerely,
Margarete Lyons
