Bob Teixeira of Charlotte bought soybean oil in 5-gallon jugs at Costco, spending about 30% more than diesel would cost.

His reward, from a state that heavily promotes alternative fuels: a $1,000 fine.

Why would he buy something 30% more expensive than diesel?

Considering the energy used to make the soybean oil, he's probably causing more pollution this way.

What a tool.

Unless I've got something wrong and I'm the tool.

Either way..

Don't you think that I did?

This is one of the stupidest things that a state agency has ever done. They are definitely out to hurt the little guy, and lying about that makes it worse.
