40 TO 55 MPH, $800 conversion kit, saves $80 to $100/month, diesel if you must, add canola oil to taste. There are people doing things like this all over the country. One wonders why its so hard for Detroit.
Grease Guzzlers
These Folks Fuel Their Diesel Cars With Cooking Oil. Slick, Huh?
By Allan LengelWashington Post Staff WriterSaturday, July 1, 2006;
In these days of eye-popping gas prices, Mike Leahy gets fuel for his Volkswagen Beetle at the Barking Dog, a popular Bethesda pub. Shane Sellers fuels up at a Chinese restaurant in Frederick. And Ben Tonken heads to a Tex-Mex eatery in the District.
"There's a bit of a smell when you get out," said Leahy, a D.C. lawyer. "A slight french fry smell. I kind of like it; it's kind of sweet. It smells better than diesel."
Welcome to the world of greasel -- the shorthand some use for grease and diesel.
