hi all, I was looking at the AFDC website http://www.afdc.doe.gov/advanced_cgi.shtml and was surprised to see ethanol-capable vehicles listed. More precisely, I am wondering why biodiesel-capable vehicles are NOT listed.
I always thought that it was because their attribute as alternative fuel vehicles resided in the fuel, and not in anything about the engine. But the ethanol capable vehicles can also burn straight gasoline, so that doesnt' seem quite fair. Biodiesel is, after all, listed on the site as an alternative fuel. But no tax credits are available to those who run diesels on biodiesel. Does anyone have any ideas how we can address this issue of diesel engines as alternative fuel vehicles? I was thinking of some sort of proof of purchase system that would grant a diesel vehicle owner the appropriate tax credit if s/he could show proof of purchase of a quantity of biodiesel roughly commensurate with the miles driven in a particular year. Does this sound outrageously complicated? Feasible? Any other suggestions? thor skov ===== Grants Manager Stillaguamish Tribe Of Indians 3439 Stoluckquamish Lane P.O.
