The gas buffet
Source: CNN
The Pearson Ford Fuel Depot in San Diego sells regular gas as well as a full range of alternative fuels from ethanol to propane to BioWillie, Willie Nelson's soybean-derived biodiesel. While the station isn't profitable yet, co-owner Mike Lewis said "If you could make it profitable, you could do a whole lot more to preserve the environment than all the mandates in the world." To attract the customers of the future, the EcoCenter for Alternative Fuel Education, also located at the dealership, offers tours explaining the benefits of alt-fuels over gasoline. Ironically, the EcoCenter is funded largely by The Ford Motor Company.
