Thanks to Oregon’s biodiesel consumer tax rebates passed in 2007, B99 (99% biodiesel) now costs less than petroleum diesel in Southern Oregon. The State of Oregon offers all B99 end-users a 50-cent per gallon tax rebate up to $200 or 400 gallons per year. (http://www.oregon.gov/ENERGY/RENEW/docs/330-150Draft.pdf) With Rogue Valley diesel prices constantly climbing to an average of $2.45 a gallon, local biodiesel retailers are finally at a price advantage. The true cost of fuel is hard to measure, as every dollar of biodiesel strengthens the energy independence of the United States economy, instead of increasing our reliance on overseas petroleum. Over 40% of a petro-dollar goes overseas.

Rising Phoenix Biofuels is leading the market, with retail B99 biodiesel in Phoenix selling at $2.59 a gallon. Not only is this the most affordable biodiesel on the West Coast, but with 50 cents a gallon rebated from the state, the actual consumer cost is only $2.09, 30 cents below the petroleum diesel down the street. The low markup, 50-cent PUC & off-road discounts, and domestic sources of fuel make them the obvious choice for the conscientious consumer and anyone driving on a budget. All biodiesel sold at U.S. pumps is ASTM certified under strict national standards, and other biodiesel stations can be found at www.biodiesel.org

Biodiesel can be used in all diesel engines, including motor boats, heavy equipment, RV’s, freight trucks, and even home heating. It can be extracted from a variety of renewable sources including Canola, Soy, Algae, and even recycled oils from Kettle Chips’ plant in Salem. Extensive EPA testing shows decreased pollution and improved lubricity and cetane from the use of biodiesel blends. We can all help improve our children’s future by simple choices of fuel.
