how dare you save the environment without paying taxes!!!

British biodiesel users, beware of bobbies! Police in Great Britain

have cracked down on users of the alternative fuel, most recently

staging a bust that bagged more than a dozen motorists in the Welsh

seaside town of Burry Port. Biodiesel is essentially refined

vegetable oil that burns more cleanly than conventional diesel; as

the folks in Burry Port know, it can be home-brewed without too much

effort -- and, to the dismay of the authorities, without paying the

proper fuel taxes. According to Robert Buxton, a spokesperson for

the Department of Customs and Excise, " If you use a substance as a

fuel to propel a vehicle on the road, you have to pay duty at the

rate of the substance " being substituted. Hence the alternative-fuel

users were tax evaders and have been hit with heavy fines for their

wrongdoings. British biodiesel advocates fear the busts will give

the fuel a bad name.
