Fellas,
I drive about 500-600 miles a week, sometimes more. I'm dying over fuel costs. My tightwad employer has increased my fuel compensation by a lousy nickel since gas went up two years ago.
Last night, while cruising the web, I stumbled across some really intriguing stuff. Seems you can take used vegetable oil, like the kind restaurants throw out, and turn it into a suitable fuel for diesel engines?
Supposedly, you can get a usable product for about 50 cents a gallon. Anything under $1.50 a gallon would save me some big money.
So - is this BS or does it work? Anybody know anything?
