Build a Greasecar and virtually eliminate your fuel costs.

the down side of using used oil is that the exhaust will smell like whatever was cooked in the oil. So if you use french fry oil, your car will smell like french fries as you travel through town.
 
other down side is collecting and then messing with all that nasty used grease
filtering, converting etc..

blea x 3 regardless of the savings.

I see Corn Ethanol making a slight comeback

I would MUCH rather mess with some funky used veggie oil rather than feel completely helpless and at the whim of the faceless fuckers that control oil prices and by extension control whether or not I can go out to eat....or see a movie....or buy the new bag I wanted so much.....or just about anything else.

but if you really dislike used oil, you can buy new oil for less than $2.00 a gallon (including shipping) on the Internet if you buy in bulk.

I started a thread on this topic 6 months ago, but I'll bet people might be more interested in this subject now.

Any diesel car or truck up to the model year 2002 can be easily converted to run on vegetable oil, new or used. Beginning in '03, common rail FI was introduced which is incompatible with veggie oil.

Many people produce a veggie oil conversion kit now, but the one I've looked at most is made by a guy that operates a site called greasecar.com. His kits run about $750. You add a secondary tank that holds your new/used veggie oil, along with an oil heater, onboard filter, and the new fuel lines. You crank your engine on diesel fuel and allow it to idle for a few minutes to operate the oil heater, then flip a switch to change to your veggie oil supply. When you reach your destination, you again switch to diesel for a minute or so.

If you choose used veggie oil, the will need to filter it prior to adding it to your onboard tank. The oil will be filtered a second time by the onboard filter. Used veggie oil can be obtained free from restaurants since they typically pay to have it hauled away. You'll just need to do a little legwork to find a restaurant. Chinese restaurants generally have the best quality used oil. The tiny bit of diesel you'd use and the filters would represent your only fuel costs if you ran used oil. However, new veggie oil would not require any preliminary filtering at all, and at this point is actually cheaper than pump gas. I checked the price for a five gallon jug of veggie oil at Sam's Wholesale Club and with tax it worked out to $2.18 a gallon. I found some wholesalers online that could get the new oil price down below $2.00, even with shipping costs.

Home mechanics can install the conversion kit. The forum at greasecar.com has members who've driven over 40k miles on oil with no discernable mechanical problems related to the the conversion. HP is not decreased.

My fiance and I have been seriously considering making a greaser for a while now, but this crap that's going on now is just the motivation we needed to do it.

If I had a dick, I'd tell the oil suppliers to suck it.

Ethanol is the way to go. Set a still up and blend it with your gas, cheap to make, pollutes less than just gas. Only problem is it's illegal. Other problem with ethanol is the MPG isn't as good as gas. Brazil uses ethanol with great success, we just don't have the infastructure for it at the moment.
