GreaseCar

And I don't mean the car on the movie Grease either!

A story I read today on Yahoo news about a new invension that for $795 will allow you to turn your diesel engine vehicle to use vegetable oil as a fuel source. This solution does have some pluses and minuses thought

Pluses
- oil is cheap to free (some restaurant's may give their old oil away to you instead of paying to get rid of it)
- You exhaust smells like what was cooked in the grease.

Minuses
- track record of vegetable oil clogging diesel engines
- Still uses diesel to start and stop vehicles
- can't pull up to Quick Trip and fill up
- You exhaust smells like what was cooked in the grease.
