You might not have seen this article - it
was on the obituary page of our paper. A Charlotte, NC man is fined
$1000 for using veggie oil in his car. He is theatened with further
federal fines and told to get a permit to use biofuel he has to put
up a $2500 bond. OK - so our laws have not kept up with the times
once again. And while I agree that if we're going to fund our
roads with fuel taxes then everyone needs to contribute their share
- I think the state needs to back off and stop harassing these
people until they get the system figured out and let everyone know
what the rules are.
