Conserv?

Filled up at Conserv Fuel in Brentwood today. I know, I know, dependence on oil is something that eventually I should work on limiting, but since my work requires me to be pretty mobile, until I get a more energy efficient car or what not, I'm stuck, for the moment at least, to getting gas. And I figure...why not support Conserv instead of Exxon Mobil who has a huge lobby?

So I decided that I'm going to get my fuel here from now on. Granted, they only have 1 station, but I'm sure that'll change and they'll eventually have 2...or 3. The original company that owned Conserv had over 200 gas stations, under USA Gasoline. They sold USA Gasoline to some major company for over $200 million, but just decided to keep this one for themselves. They sell biodiesel, and yes, regular gas, and will be soon selling bioethanol (aka ethanol). My idea of filling up here is that since I'm going to have to fill up anyway, at least for now, shouldn't I fill up here instead of at Mobil? It's almost as if I'm choosing between the lesser of the two evils, but I think it positive to support those industries who in turn also support alternative fuel sources. That's my take. I know it's not the best option.

I'm considering getting a bicycle. If anyone is selling theirs, let me know. Preferably a woman's bike, I hate that bar in the middle on men's bikes. I don't know how men deal with that bar being there, I can't even stand it.
