Speaking of Alternative Fuels
Published April 26th, 2006 in Gas Price GlanceJust came across this while reading one of my favorite blogs - Make (all about making stuff). You can purchase a dvd that shows you how to convert your standard diesel powered vehicle to one supplemented with used vegetable oil at http://vegmyride.tv.
For $19.95 they show you how to run a duel-tank system (meaning you still have your factory installed diesel engine and tank) so you can still run on standard diesel whenever you please. They figure that by running on used veggie oil your cost per gallon is $.15. Wonder if your exhaust smells like french fries. Man, that would be cool. 
It isn’t a Michigan-based company, but the concept is too cool not to share. Especially when gas (and diesel) is $3 a gallon.

What a great idea! I saw a VW here in NC a few weeks ago that had a huge sticker on the back that read “I am running BioDiesel.” I got behind him in traffic so I could see if it was true the exhaust smells like McDonald’s french fries.
Well, it is not true, they smell like Waffle Houses!
Anyway, I liked your post and linked my daily political strip to it.
Wouldn’t it be great if all exhaust smelled like waffles, french fries, or other truly lovely fried items? Good for the environment. Good for your sense of smell.
I only wish my car was diesel. Will they start converting reg. gas guzzlers too? One can dream.
