Los Angeles might be able to be fueled by the fat which is sucked out of actresses and socialites in Beverly Hills each day. Just a thought.... Rosie could potentially provide energy for the entirety of Beverly Hills in one lipo session!

I wonder how the Muslims are going to react to Pork-oil powered cars? Knowing that the exhaust, from burning pork, is being expelled into the air that they are breathing? I’m starting to like this whole pork-o-deisel idea.

The technology is probably similar to NExBTL:
NExBTL is a renewable diesel production process commercialized by Neste Oil. Chemically, it entails direct hydrogenation of plant oil, which is triglyceride, into the corresponding alkane. This removes oxygen from the oil. Unlike the yellow transesterified biodiesel, the product is a clear and colorless paraffin, with a good cetane number (85 to 99) and better properties than even petrodiesel. It requires no modification or special precautions for the engine.

Probably better than FAME (such as RME = Methylated Rapeseed oil)

Soylent Green Is People! At least the Premium High Octane blend is lol. A good way to thin out the nursing homes, homeless shelters, and abortion waste-—sarc of course.
