A company offering rental cars powered entirely by biodiesel set up shop in Los Angeles on Tuesday, hoping to bring the aroma of popcorn and doughnuts to the city's smoggy freeways.

Just one snag--there is only one place in town to fill up.

Bio-Beetle Eco Rental Cars, which started out on the Hawaiian island of Maui three years ago, opened for business near Los Angeles International Airport with four cars fueled by filtered vegetable oil.

"I've always wanted to come to Los Angeles," said founder Shaun Stenshol. "California is known as an environmentally friendly state, and LA is the car capital of the world. What better place to do biodiesel than Los Angeles?"

"As far as biodiesel rental cars, I don't know of anyone else doing it in the world," said Stenshol, a former Greenpeace worker and environmental activist.

Biodiesel costs $3.45 a gallon--about $1 more than regular gas--but the cars get between 400 and 800 miles per tank. There is only one place where customers can fill up, but Stenshol said he hoped to help set up other refueling stations in the Los Angeles metro area.

"There are people who say it smells like popcorn, or French fries or doughnuts. But to me it is just a pleasant tang," Stenshol said.

Sony's HDR-HC3 high definition camcorder just got the once over by the IDG crew in Tokyo. Remember, this is a consumer-based device that is both lighter, smaller, and more tightly spec'd than its HC1 sib. In fact, it's compact enough now, that it fits in a coat pocket or bag without weighing the reviewer down -- something not possible with the HC1. IDG was well impressed by their ability to shoot at better quality than the "majority of broadcast TV" fed into their HDTV setup. Controlling the camera could be a bit difficult, especially if held at chest-height. And the lack of feedback on the manual focus thumbwheel meant they kept the device in auto-mode most of the time. Bottom line: IDG calls the HC3 the "best camcorder at present" for consumers looking to get into High-Def home video. So now you just have to scrounge up $1700 before these drop next month.
