Congradulations. However, I can't believe that while you were in New Orleans, on your way to Oxford, MS you past one of the largest biodiesel plants in the nation. This plant exist in Natchez, MS. They have been in operation for approximately 1 1/2 yrs. and supply much of the biodiesel in Europe. If you decide to further your knowledge of biofuels, maybe you will visit some of the refineries, just to see how biofuels are produced. I am certain you will find this very interesting. Again, congrads on a sucessful trip. Hey Cody, Well, seems your trip using biodiesel was a success. Congradulations.

You guys give biodiesel a BAD name, you make it seem like it's this big adventure like a Harrison Ford movie ...... ie... raiders of the lost ark... but then again maybe that's all you were interested in.... the entertainment value of it, rather than showing the viability of it huh? Lots of people use it everyday without the "drama" frankly i prefer the more environmentally friendly option of my hydrogen powered 4x4 ford F250 turbo diesel truck that get's 30 miles to the gallon, but then where's the " fun" in that ..... just an environmentally friendly way of going green and saving a LOT of $$$$ on gas ;) Thanks for the laugh guys, LOL, are you for real ?

Very very interesting piece of journalism - I would have followed you from the start had I known about your project.... I believe the lessons learned to be very valuable. Knowing what you know now... do you believe bio-diesel to be a valid, sensible and cost effective alternative fuel? What vehicle do you wish you had used? What modifications do you wish you had made to the International? What Vehicles would you recommend using biofuels with? Good for you guys!!!

The answer, and your dollars, are blowing out the tailpipe. Now that Cody and Brian have on the field experience, Another power for comparison. Set up a CNN poll, what power to try next ? Local businesses, on route, could be highlighted. Chambers of Commerce might even pay for an occasional meal ? How Fuel-Fooled are US ?

Others will not ride into bio-fuel Hell. But will miss the thrill of actually being stranded in unexpected places. Someone make a computer bio-fuel game ? Logistics and cost efficiencies. Interesting themes, to further social development, and conversation skills. Do a series of internet interviews with experts and experimenters of each option.
