Inhabitat has the goods on two LA companies that will provide you with fresh and lovely biofuel, if you just can't stand the amount of smog you pump out as you idle in traffic. Lovecraft will convert vegetable oil into fuel to run your car on. Converting your car to be able run on converted vegetable oil is your problem. And the Biodiesel-Coop will have mobile fueling centers to get fuel to the people who need it. Whether biodeisel will ever catch on is hard to say, but it's nice to give it the old college try.
