Want to use alternative fuel? ...got a car that could, but don't know where to get it?
Maybe you are like me, and just have an interest in the topic and would be happy to know it is available if you ever go that route. Thanks to a conversation i had the other day in my office at Keller Williams, i'm now aware that alternative fuel is indeed available in this area, and it is affordable!
Here's a map and list of local alternative fuel providers, with information on the type of fuel that they carry. As you can see, it is here, it's a start, and i would say that we're not doing too bad for this neck of the woods.
Bitco Auto Center 7106 Hwy 90 Milton, Fl. 32570
Available Fuel: B-20
Waco Fuel Plaza/Citgo 2717 S. Bryon Butler Parkway Perry, Fl. 32348

E10, or lesser blend – Gasoline blended with 10% or less ethanol.
B100 – An alternative fuel comprised of 100% biodiesel.
B20, or lesser blend – Diesel fuel blended with 20% or less biodiesel.
