I’ve run cars on pure vegetable oil from the bottle.

I've seen stories saying that that was possible with older diesels.I think the newer ones might be more complex...or maybe it's just for emissions purposes.But we're talking military jets here.If standard jet fuel (or some special blend made to DoD specs) works...why fool around with success? Unless,of course,you harbor some secret contempt for our military.

(The "you" I referred to is Hussein...not you)

Yeah they were older cars. ‘94 & cheap, and I was never quite sure whether there was a mileage drop-off that countered the lower cost of the oil. Some cars are better than others.

I suppose in case of a protracted war you’d want to have options.
