URBANDALE, Iowa
- Krueger BP of Des Moines is already in the holiday-giving spirit.
The family-owned business is providing consumers with a new fuel choice
by selling soy biodiesel at three of its metro locations, beginning
today, November 10. Soy biodiesel is a renewable, environmentally friendly
fuel that extends engine life at prices competitive with or lower than
No. 2 diesel. The homegrown fuel benefits Iowa farmers as well, and
helps reduce the country’s dependence on foreign oil. |

“We contacted the Iowa Soybean Association when fuel prices began to rise and asked about biodiesel,” says Scott Krueger, vice president of enterprises for Krueger BP. “As a fuel dealer, we’re feeling the hurt from the higher fuel prices, too. Biodiesel allows us to give our customers another fuel option that is competitive with, and sometimes less expensive than, regular diesel. We’re trying to pass the savings on to our customers.” Krueger BP is a locally owned company that was started by Scott’s father, Don Krueger, about 35 years ago. Scott says the company has always had high standards about the fuel it sells. “When we first thought about getting biodiesel, I had two concerns,” Scott says. “One was the price, and the other was fuel quality. We did our homework on biodiesel and found that it meets our high standards. We are proud to be one of the first stations to offer it in Des Moines.” Krueger BP will have a Soy Biodiesel Kickoff on Friday, November 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its Grimes location. WHO-Radio will broadcast live from the event. The Soy Biodiesel Kickoff will feature free gifts and a discounted price of 10 cents off each gallon of soy biodiesel purchased. Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) staff members will be on hand to answer questions about soy biodiesel. The event is co-sponsored by the Polk County Farm Bureau and ISA.

The Iowa Soybean Association develops policies and programs that help farmers expand profit opportunities while promoting environmentally sensitive production using the soybean checkoff and other resources. The Association is governed by an elected volunteer board of 21 farmers. |
