Did You Know? City Of Ashland & Phoenix Biofuels

By switching to B5 biodiesel in June 2009, the City of Ashland became Southern Oregon's largest municipal fleet running on domestic biodiesel blends.

By replacing 5% of their 38,000-gallon annual diesel usage with a domestic biodegradable fuel, they save 30,000 pounds of greenhouse gasses from Rogue Valley skies. In a year, that's like taking 3 of their cars off the road, or importing 45 less barrels of foreign oil.
