Willie Nelson and BioWillie back biodiesel-fueled, non-stop race across the country.
It’s called Willie Run ’08.
On September 22, two drivers in a car named Willie One (a Volkswagen Diesel Jetta fueled by BioWillie) will set out from midtown Manhattan following the course of the infamous Cannonball Run. Less than 40 hours later, they’ll arrive in LA. Taking advantage of the increased fuel efficiency of the diesel engine and Willie One’s extra large fuel tank, they won’t stop to refuel or even for bathroom breaks (more on that at Willierun.com).

Ask for America’s quality renewable fuel by name – BioWillie® premium biodiesel
All Americans understand the importance of reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Long or short haul carriers understand that every gallon we grow from our nation's crops reduces what we buy from foreign soil. Our American truckers are on the front lines -- making the decision to fuel up with BioWillie helps our local, state and national economy. In addition, there are clear environmental benefits.
BioWillie® meets or exceeds national ASTM fuel quality standards
BioWillie brand biodiesel is a blend of premium diesel and biodiesel fuel that consistently meets the ASTM quality standards ensuring the performance and reliability you demand.
In September 2006, in a report from the national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory identified the advantages of using a B20 biodiesel blend:
-
Reduces life-cycle petroleum consumption by 19%
-
Reduces life-cycle CO2 emissions by 16%
-
Further reduces hydrocarbon emissions by 20%
-
Significantly reduces toxic emissions
-
Reduces PM emissions
-
No impact on NOx
See http://www.nrel.gov/vehiclesandfuels/npbf/news.html for report. Biodiesel is a cleaner burning fuel with additional lubricity benefits, particularly when blended with the new Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuels. This is important for your long term engine operating performance and another reason for continued use of BioWillie premium biodiesel.
BioWillie® reduces America's dependence on foreign oil
By changing your fuel purchasing habits, you move from being part of the foreign oil dependency problem to being part of America’s solution.
BioWillie® helps America's farmers
Not only that, but in changing to biodiesel made from locally grown soybeans and other feedstock, you support America’s farmers.
BioWillie® burns cleaner for a healthier environment
BioWillie brand biodiesel has a similar operating performance to regular diesel yet burns with a natural vegetable aroma -- without the familiar black soot and smoke. Some even say the exhaust smells like french fries!
