How do you combine text messaging with a Biodiesel?
Have you heard of
biodiesel? 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 biodiesel 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 biodiesel 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!
I hope this is usefull to some of you.There are no
