a new one
it's not unusual for me to have a conversation about biodiesel with a total stranger. it's rare, though, for me to have to field a totally new question.
so here's a new one: today i had to explain to someone that biodiesel can only be used in diesel vehicles.

Gah! That's one confused person. Any more choice conversation details?

For the sake of their car, I'm glad they asked and that you explained.

ah, but you see, she didn't ask. she asked me all the usual questions (where do you get it, etc), then said she had been planning to try it. well, i had just seen her step out of an accord station wagon, which i was fairly certain was not a diesel, so i asked her if she had a diesel vehicle. she said she did not.
