I'm personally very interested in diesel cars. Biodiesel is a good option. Unfortunately it's the same old supply issue again, like with CNG cars. Alpha Synovate does not seem to have proper pumping facilities. So biodiesel will always be a niche choice unless the major players decide to get involved. However, this is unlikely because they already have their own "green" diesel. But it's not at the top of their priorities. The Shell station at Jalan Jurong Kechil is their only one selling low-sulphur diesel. Unlike in Europe, there aren't enough government incentives to promote the use of diesel/biodiesel. So I don't expect things to change much in the next 2-3 years. I also have an article on the diesel tax on the Star Bamboo web site. http://www.starbamboo.com/2008/02/25/diesel-cars-in-singapore-boon-or-bane/ Cheers. Hi Eugene,
