Biodiesel and Text Messaging: The Next Frontier?

Have you heard of bio diesel? It’s a clean burning alternative fuel,
produced by domestic, renewable resources. With gas prices edging ever-higher, and long-term concerns about
greenhouse gas emissions, many people are interested in purchasing and using diesel vehicles. These things are so
popular, diesel vehicle sales from all the major manufacturers have exceeded forecasts.
However, finding bio diesel to use in your diesel vehicle is not quite as easy driving by your corner gas station.
In fact, there are slightly over 1400 stations in the US that have some blend of biodiesel (ranging anywhere from
2% to 100% biodiesel). So, what’s the easiest way to find a nearby gas station that has biodiesel? That’s right –
your cell phone!
NearBio is a free service, powered by 4INFO, that allows cell phone users to find their nearest biodiesel
fueling locations. Just text “nbio” plus your current zip code (or city and state) to 44636 (4INFO), and
you’ll get the address and phone number of the five nearest bio diesel stations. NearBio verifies all the
locations and updates the database on a daily basis.
We think this is a pretty cool application of 4INFO services, and we’re happy to be part of a service that makes
it easier to use this environment-friendly product. So if you’re going biodiesel, remember that you can stay
in the know when on the road, with 4INFO and NearBio!
