Event Highlights: The day-long event took place along the main street of the NM State Fairgrounds on their “Environmental Appreciation Day.” Ten alternative fueled vehicles were on display along the fair’s primary street representing compressed natural gas, electric, hybrid, biodiesel, yellow grease and ethanol. As it was the last Friday of the New Mexico 2008 State Fair, many schools were out, allowing students to attend the event. The Mayor of Albuquerque’s E85 Avalanche was on display and at the head of the vehicles. With its special E85 design covering, it stood out among all of the vehicles that day. Several alternative fuel providers (CNG, biodiesel and ethanol) were also present and available to answer questions regarding the availability of the fuels.
