From a letter from the US:

>I'm in the midst of acquiring
>a VW Beetle turbodiesel, but was disappointed to learn that VW won't honor
>the warranty if biodiesel is used, altho' Germany does. The issue is that
>Germany uses rapeseed-based fuel, and most of the supplied biodiesel here is
>made with soybean oil.

Clash of standards - the issue wouldn't be, would it, that Europe's 
biodiesel standards have some specs that include rapeseed oil but 
exclude soybean oil, for no apparent reason, other than that perhaps 
Europe has a huge surplus of rapeseed oil, just as the US has a huge 
surplus of soybean oil?

Surely the only valid issue is to promote maximum use of renewable, 
carbon-neutral biofuels. Or am I being naive?
