Subject | BioFuel Oasis biodiesel fueling station in Berkeley |
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 |
