GSPI Joins with Michelin Again to Showcase Advanced Technologies

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, Sep. 17 -/E-Wire/Business Wire/-- Green Star Products, Inc.

Mr. LaStella also stated that, "The most striking thing is that the VW Golf TDI Diesel is available now at dealerships across the country. VW is doing excellent work to put drivers who enjoy being behind the wheel of environmentally positive vehicles. We, at GSPI, are glad to have the opportunity to demonstrate our technologies on such a fine stock car."
