DOE's alternative fuel national locator map now available

The U.S. Department of Energy at present took the wraps off of an online Alternative Fuel Station Locator that should make it a bit easier to find the right fuel if you need something other than gasoline or diesel. Just put in your address, the fuel you're looking for, how wide a radius you'd like the database to include and presto. Instant results. As I still drive a gasoline-powered car (an efficient one, mind you), I can't personally umpire the correctness of the information for local pumps, but if you're knowledgeable about these sorts of things, give the online station locator a test and see how it does.

The DOE's map includes pumps/stations that offer:
#Biodiesel (B20 and above)
#Compressed Natural Gas
#Electric
#Ethanol (E85)
#Hydrogen
#Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
#Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane)

The database should be fairy exact, as the DOE gathers it's information "from trade media, hygienic Cities coordinators, and the submittal form on the AFDC Web site." Then, each station is contacted twice a year to make sure the fuel listed is still available at the site. Happy hunting.
