Yes, some folks out here in California finally made one of my big dreams come true-a fully functioning fuel station selling petroleum, biodiesel (B99), and ethanol (E85). Conserv Fuel is the first station in LA to sell E85 to the public 24/7, and has become the only station in LA that sells B99 at the pump. Now that’s what I call exciting! “Fifty years ago, my father, his two brothers, and my grandfather emigrated from Denmark to California,” says Conserv founder and CEO Kristopher Moller “One of the first jobs they landed was working at an independent service station in a small town east of Los Angeles. After decades of dedication and hard work, my father built USA Gasoline into the largest independent gas station chain in the State.”
In Spring of last year, the entire USA Gasoline chain sold to a US oil refiner, save a single station in Brentwood. From this single station, Kristopher Moller founded Conserv and has seemlessly integrated the old guard and the new guard of fuel under one roof. On their website, Conserv boasts “a commitment to a new type of American Dream.” Well, not only did they fulfill a years-long personal dream of mine, they fulfilled the timeless American Dream of solving old school problems with new school innovations. If you’re in LA, stop on through. Whether you have a biodiesel Benz, a flex-fuel Avenger, or a petroleum-sucking F-250, Conserv Fuel is the spot to get just what you need and support a fuel provider who gives a s%*#. Conserv Fuel believes that conservation is the first step to fuel sustainability. Check out their tips to reducing your fuel use.

This is the first in a pilot program to lessen our cumulative impact of travel to the greatest city on Mama Earth by getting there on vegetable oil! A $55-$65 donation to Burn Clean Project will reserve a One Way ride to or from the playa, helping you to avoid burning petroleum, the cost of a car rental, and the worst part of all—scrubbing the rental car thoroughly enough so they don’t charge you a playa-sized cleaning fee!

Tips for Virgin Greasemonkeys Read the rest of this entry » Biodiesel: WVO or SVO that has gone through a refining process to use in an unconverted diesel engine. Biodiesel that is up to standard (ASTM) can be used in a regular diesel engine, as long as the outdoor temperature remains above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Ethanol is extremely high proof alcohol which is commonly made from corn or sugar cane, but can also be made from everyday garbage and agricultural waste. Ethanol distilled from “waste” resources is a renewable resource, as there is no end in sight to America’s food waste. Commercial ethanol in the US is currently made from virgin agricultural products, such as fresh corn, and so does not have a very high EROEI or Energy Returned On Energy Invested. |
Don Gray at Kohler Power Supply is your man with the plan. He has boldly and brilliantly gone outside the conventions of generator providers across the country and made generators available for B100 use. In 2006, Kohler provided the generators for the Man, the Greeter’s Sation, and the Staff Commissary, as well as many theme camps such as Entheon Village and Hookah Dome. In 2007, BM has contracted Kohler almost all their generators and will be running B99 in them…yay, yay, yay!!!
Tip: Sometimes the NBB’s data is outdated, so…Map out the fueling sites you’d like to use along the way, then call each one to double check: if they are still in operation, the price is viable, and the retail hours… no need to stress over fuel on a big trip due to incorrect information.
Tip: Same as tip above — call ahead to confirm.
