Be like Julia Roberts and drive on biodiesel
This should certainly help get the biofuel onto the radar screens of a certain segment of the population: Julia Roberts has gone and switched to biodiesel.There are almost zero details in the original story on Contact Music, but a story like this doesn't really need details. The key point, Julia Roberts uses biodiesel is all the detail you need. We're not going to be making biodiesel with her, and we won't be going for a ride in the car (Mercedes? New? Used? Who knows), so what's to know? We don't even know where she'll fill up – or what blend she'll use.
Apparently her husband, Dannny Moder, bought her the new car because she said a.) she wants a car that "smells like French fries" and b.) she wanted something bigger than a Prius for when her kids grow up. Nothing like instant gratification.

Ha that's funny. I actually know what she is driving. Its a new Suburban converted to run SVO. I only know this because she had the conversion done at the same place I had my Suburban (however mine is 10 years old) done here in LA and they told me about her.
And I can't really pick up the intended tone of the article. Is it supposed to be condescending or motivational? I think it is the instant gratification comment that throws me off.
