<x-charset ISO-8859-1>>It's not about tax revenues,< C'mon. The most important concern for state gov't pinheads is their jurisdiction over tax issues. They hate things they can't tax. It would be politically embarrasing for them to say that they are agaist a 'warm fuzzy' issue like using waste fryer oil in a car. . So they don't. So they figure out other way to get what they want. So they send the 'diesel testing nazis' everywhere, to look for 'bad, overpolluting diesel', of course, at the same time,their inspecting every square inch of your business, looking for UNTAXED diesel. State gov'ts hate high milage cars, homebrew fuels,etc. But they don't say so.
