Buy a diesel, convert it to biodiesel, and make a deal with your local fast food restaurant to get rid of their leftover grease for them. It's a win situation all around. Well, except for the oil companies.
not necessarily, they got plenty of land to build farms to get vegetable oil....you could use plain vegetable oil with a few fuel line mods..on just about any diesel...
that would be win - win - win-win-win-win..
1) less money for middle east
2) C02 neutral
3) instead of farm subsidies, farmers can make money growing fuel
4) distribution system already in place (some mods needed)
5) better mileage than gas
6) Less toxic refineries
7) Cars might cost less because engines would be simpler
to build (offshoot, less autoworkers, Less union power)
It's being done already,...I wonder why the Sierra club,
and other conservation groups haven't jumped on the bandwagon (my guess is that they make money selling hatred of the oil companies, and many republicans (even though some democrats are also tied to the oil industry (i.e. Jerry Browns family had Indonesian oil holdings) and so they don't have enough money to actually do anything.
