maybe next time the home boy steals a bike he will pedal a bit faster so he doesn't get caught by the irate dad or maybe after this he will just have to wear a bike helmet all the time!

There are technologies being devoted that will allow ethanol to be produced from arable waste, so that land could feasibly be used for food and fuel. I don't know what the figures are on that, but it has to be closer to sustainable.

But, really, there's only one answer- use less fuel. Drive less, in more efficient cars, cycle, walk etc. etc.

I've also crunched the numbers and it doesn't take long before you realise that there isn't enough arable land around to support either growing crops for fuel and food OR indeed for growing trees to offset greenhouse gas emissions.
Should we also point out that there are almost NO environmental benefits in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions in using E85?

Bike Miami held a public meeting earlier this month to talk about bicycle advocacy, and 17 of the 44 people who showed up were Hispanic. I don't recall there being any black people present, however -- and they are indeed a significant part of the daily riders in our town. Nor did I see any at the Ride of Silence last Wednesday.

So I agree with you that the bicycle community has a challenge of inclusivity here. The fact that we can organize well among people who spend $1,000 or up on a bicycle doesn't mean we are going to be effective in building a healthy riding environment.

George, I'm sure real estate can be had for pennies an acre in Greenland. Sure, there's a mile of ice on top of it, but when it all melts you'll make a killing on real estate and St. Thomas will be flooded from the rising sea levels.

Perhaps a little reasoning could distinguish between the truth about BioPerformance and whether it is a scam or not.

Myself, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but remain reasonably skeptical of incredible claims.

HERE'S WHAT I HAVE GLEANED FROM ALL THE COMMENTS, MY WEB RESEARCH, AND FROM AN ELEMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY AND PSYCHOLOGY:

(1) THE BIOPERFORMANCE PILLS DO SOMETHING. In some vehicles they appear to provide a small increase in fuel mileage. In others, they don't help at all or even LOWER gas mileage. Napthalene does work in some older vehicles to some extent, and could possibly increase gas mileage by helping to eliminate knocks and pings. However, newer vehicles can be ruined, when the additive interferes with the more sensitive fuel systems.

(2) THE BIOPERFORMANCE PILLS ARE PROBABLY JUST MOTH BALLS IN DISGUISE. The news reports and laboratory tests seem to indicate that they are napthalene. I have no good reason to doubt that this is true.

(3) SPOKESPERSONS FOR THE PRODUCT APPEAR TO BE LYING. The supposed company representative in this blog that indicated that they were other than napthalene also spoke a bunch of nonsense about changing the "frequency" and that napthalene has "much larger crystals". This is FALSE INFORMATION. Chemicals don't have "frequencies", nor would crystal size make any difference, since the finished product dissolves in the fuel.

(4) ANOTHER RED FLAG: IT WORKS IN GASOLINE *AND* DIESEL. No product that simply modifies fuel (if that were possible) can work in both gasoline engines and diesel engines, because they work on completely different principles. Only a lubricant works in both.

(5) BIOPERFORMANCE HAS ALL THE CLASSIC SIGNS OF A MLM SCAM. Which isn't to say it is, but chances are pretty good.

As another person quoted from the Bible, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Whether this MLM was started by a minister or not (I am a minister also, and can say they make mistakes), the Bible indicates that we should not be fools, and should check things out.

There are many suspicious things about this product that should cause you to hold your money back until you have THOROUGHLY studied this issue.

That news about the asset freeze in Texas is a woozy. Thank you to all of you who provided additional information about Bioperformance. I'd like to thank you individually, but almost all of you (including Bioperformance boosters who mysteriously fault the sceptics for remaining unnamed) are anonymous. For discussion about the lawsuit, please leave your comments at this post.

Nice comments all!
I suggest you spend a short time actually LOOKING at the website and, if you're a skeptic like me, run some simple background checks on those who are "claiming" to be experts. They actually check out. To my eternal chagrin, (my father will never let me live this down) I put the stuff in my motorcycle and got a 20 mpg increase. This is not a moped but a Yamaha Virago 1100cc full size bike. I was stunned, I started using it in my diesel truck 2 weeks ago and the first tank LOST mileage. I'd read the information on the site and put in a new fuel filter and tried another tank, a 2mpg increase, and after the 4th tank I'm 26.8% better. For those who are math challenged, that means every fifth tank of fuel is FREE! It works, and they guarantee if it messes up your engine, they'll fix it on their nickel. Skeptical? OK, but don't knock it until you've tried it. If you want to actually READ about it, you can see it all for yourself at www.onlinefuelpill.com. If not, that's cool too. Personally, I thought it was a load of crap to begin with and spent lots of time and money trying to prove to my father that he was getting ripped off. Well, he wasn't and niether am I. It's up to you whether you choose to be a lemming and blindly follow Fritz, anyone who has posted comments (including me) or, will you invest a little time to check it out for yourself?
I have nothing to gain if you look at the site above, look or don't look - it's your choice. All I can tell you is that I personally am saving 25 cents per gallon on my diesel truck and I'm getting and I can drive an extra hundred miles per tank on my motorcycle. I can't wait to put this stuff in my boat!

If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.

Now for the misinformed person who said Bio is moth balls I think that has been effectively shot down, obviously you do not know what you are talking about.

As for the comments about a fool being born everyday? I have tried the product in a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant, a 1997 Geo Metro, a 1987 Dodge Dakota and a 2000 Mustang, I have seen gains of 27%,23%,25% and 17% on those vehicles. ON top of that I was impressed and joined the company, I am enjoying a very nice supplemental income that is growing everyday.

You doubters keep on calling it a scam and we will continue enjoying the benefits of Bioperformance. By the way, in five months BioPerformance has over 25 Million dollars in sales, there sure must be a lot of suckers huh?

Because of the recent slanderous remarks by the news media concerning our product, we would like to clear the air once and for all. We protect our product from any false accusations. We will now correct the false accusations concerning our product being made from moth balls, being toxic, hurting vehicles and not giving people any savings.

As you well know, naphthenates, naphthalenes, and other compounds from the same family are derived from hydrocarbons – aromatic substances like camphor, gasoline, petroleum, soft coal, or from the camphor tree. Naphthalenes were obtained from the tree, and then, in more recent times, from soft coal. They are combined with metals, organic components, etc., to obtain a naphthenate. We use organic naphthenates. When a naphthalene is converted into a naphthenate, we change the frequency and together with a dispersant we get a very large surface for the catalyzer to work. Catalyzers work by surface and not by mass. This is why our product is made of naphthenates, not naphthalenes. Naphthalenes are much larger crystals and are not useful for our purpose. Therefore, our product is not mothballs.

Maybe if you use naphthalene, it may work a while, but you need to have a larger surface for it to work as a catalyst. The frequency of the matter allows us to work much better in catalyzing. This transformation makes the crystals we use, when they contact the gasoline, because of the dispersants, disappear and only the molecules stay.

Also, as you can see in our Security Officer’s Material Safety Data Sheet, our product is not toxic. I know if you put a piece of carbon and a diamond under the chromatographer, they both are the same product: carbon. However, we all know, they are not the same. During the 50 years of testing to get our product working by many people, we have never had any trouble with vehicles, as the product completely dissolves in the combustible, and thus becomes part of it. However, if the gas or diesel tanks have too many impurities, the gas lines and filters may clog. The product takes about 8 hours to act at 100% dissolving skims, incrustation of HC existing in tanks, tubes, pumps and injection systems, cleaning them as time goes by, depending upon the thickness of such incrustations. It does not harm the combustion system in any way according to our ISO 9000 Lab Tests.
