For any country to begin using food stuffs for fuel, if the variety of corn used for ethanol is an edible variety, when there is more than adequate oil to be used for fuel, is folly beyond measure

Thanks. We have Bob Dole in large part to thank for this since it was his wheeling and dealing to divert taxpayer dollars into the pockets of Archer, Daniels, Midlands (primary ethanol producers and Bob Dole supporters) that has keep this increduble stupidity alive (Oh, not to mention King George Bush II's farm bill)

This reminds me of the episode where Homer and Bart raid Willy's retirement grease....

Why not just add the cooking oil to diesel? The diesel combustion odor should overpower the cooking oil odor.

Sounds reasonable to me, but I'm no chemical engineer.

But people finally did what the liberals claimed they wanted, they found an alternative to gasoline!

Not quite. They found an alternative to diesel fuel.

It's in my profile, a default /sarcasm tag. LOL. Been there for some time. I am not pushing ethonal. I am saying that people should be allowed to put anything they want in their gas tanks/diesal tanks [and yes, if cooking oil is an alternative to diesal, cars can be made with cooking oil engines. That is an alternative fuel for gasoline/petrol/[enter name here].

This shows liberalism and environmentalism for what it is: green on the outside and Socialist Red on the inside. Innovation is punished severely, possibly with seven years in jail. They do not want the mission accomplished. They do not want to end the consumptuion of ... ok safe word... fossile fuels. They want our money. And they want us to think we deserved to lose our money. They want us feeling guilty for having money, for having cars, and for cheating our way out of a nice, healthy walk.

Wow. Thank you for the in-depth commentary! I keep checking in to make sure this wasn't a hoax. Too strange to believe. Not only the cooking oil fuel, but also the liberal reaction. Laughing FReegards....

Yes, they in fact, found an alternative to gasoline. Who says you can't get a diesel engine? Methane is also called an alternative to gasoline.
