Though always my intention - the convenience of the big suppliers and sucking at pump is significant. However, as prices climb over $5/gallon perhaps it's time to get a little greasy!?
A cooperative effort in setting up a small processing plant, collecting used oil for fuel production might be practical and viable either in smaller neighbourhoods (Palo Colorado / Downtown Big Sur / South Coast) or a central location depending on feasability, numbers, etc. Probably the smaller the better, but I don't know?
Is the Big Sur Biodiesel Coop interested in considering changing the supply line in this way perhaps?
Any thoughts??
