[Editor's Note: 20 years ago–back when this article originally went to print–we were featuring cars that ran on biodiesel. We'll let you decide if biodiesel really did become the fuel of the future.]

Just to think, 20 years ago we were talking about biodiesel.
In reply to J.A. Ackley :
It seemed like it was a really big deal at one point, but now I rarely hear about it.
We won the SCCA ProRally national championship in 2002 running a Golf MK4 GTDI on BioD.
I guess we were ahead of our time.
Biodiesel availability is evidently a location-based issue. I'm in Houston, where the DOE maps show just a couple locations that sell >20% biodiesel. Scan up to the Mid-West ag states of Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota and you'll find hundreds of them.

Crazy there is only 1 in the whole state of Ohio and none in the state of PA. Which is crazy because there was a plant that produced in my home town in PA.
In reply to trigun7469 :
Not sure where that BioD location info is coming from, but it is very incomplete.
The nearest B20 pump to me is the Dogwood crossing station at Rt33 & Coonpath Rd. A little farther away is the Lancaster Love's truck stop, or north to the Canal Winchester Meijer store. Along 1-70 there several Love's with BioD. That's just the ones I know about in my neighborhood of Ohio.
