New Haven Independent: City Trucks Will Run On Soybeans: "Mayor John DeStefano seems to be getting a kick out of the new bumper stickers that will soon be affixed to diesel-powered city vehicles. Hint: hiding behind the NBC mic is the word 'bio-diesel.'
The mayor announced at a Monday press conference outside City Hall that the city's diesel engine vehicles will be propelled on a new fuel made mostly from soybeans. The city has purchased 75,000 gallons each of two fuels -- a 50/50 bio-diesel/gasoline blend (better for the summer) and a 10/90 bio-diesel/gasoline blend (better for the winter). No engine modifications are required for the vehicles to use these blends."
