The Brattleboro Reformer reports that the Deerfield Valley Transit Association, also known as The MOOver, is looking to biodiesel as a way to save money. The Association, which operates free buses to and from Brattleboro, recently scaled back their operations because of rising fuel costs. Indeed, bus service to Wardsboro was cut indefinitely and service to East Dover and from Wilmington was cut back. Two MOOver mechanics, David Meeks and Glen Beattie,  think that biodiesel could help the Association curb costs. "Beginning Saturday, the MOOver plans to produce B100, or 100 percent refined vegetable oil with no diesel additive. The fuel does not affect horsepower or performance but does reduce emissions." The biodiesel for the buses "will be produced in the MOOver garage with an 85-gallon processor using used vegetable oil gathered from Mount Snow ski resort and other local restaurants. The project [will be] limited by the amount of oil the company can collect."
