Well, I just spotted a Gas station that is opening in West Babylon NY, selling only green fuels, an Entrepeneur named Vogel and his Vogelbilt station will be opening all over the Island, but this is the first one on Wellwood Road..

This opens new doors for me as my Evo is not a Daily driver any more, and I will be converting over to E85 as soon as I have a few extra dollars to pay and make my Phone call to Dave about my dual pump setup.

West babylon is not close to me, Its actually about 25 miles away, but its near where I used to live and know exactly where its located.

....... This......Changes....Everything....

I wonder if we can convert our cars to run E85 full time and write-off $2,000 in tax for that "green" reason :P

I have pump cores in stock. Just pick up the phone. If you want me to use your core for whatever reason, just send it in.

There's a "Slight" kink in the whole "Green" thing.. The EPA has not certified any aftermarket conversions on OBD-II vehicles YET, there is one company offering a conversion kit/program that was just announced. So technically if the fuel door says "unleaded fuel only" Its technically Illegal to dispense anything but unleaded into it. Now that I will be able to get E85 Legally, I have been doing some hardcore research. Always a complication. However I spoke to the owner of the future "Renewable Fuel Refill station" chain thats opening here on Long Island, and thats what got me excited to move forward and finish up the conversion in a few weeks.

To me it seems stupid to discourage innovation, but It shouldn't be a problem for individuals wanting to convert their own cars. The Poor guys with Electric conversions have even bigger problems.

This is the real deal.. You will start seeing renewable fuels, recharge stations, hydrogen fillup, etc, starting to pop up this year and even more in 2008...
