who drives a "Veggie Car"???
 

Nothing new, but:
Every two weeks, Etta Kantor drives to a local Chinese restaurant to fuel her blue Volkswagen Jetta. She calls ahead and the owner knows to put aside a few buckets of used oil just for her. At home, Kantor uses a colander and a bag filter to remove water and any food particles.

The vegetable oil is then poured into a 15-gallon tank that sits in the back of her Jetta, where a spare tire would usually be kept. With a touch of a button, located above the radio, Kantor can switch from diesel fuel to vegetable oil in seconds.

"Oh, I zip around town, go fast on highways. It's not any different," said Kantor, 58, of Weston.

Restaurants have to pay to get rid of their old vegetable oil and are happy to give it away for free.

anyone resorting to this??

Wow, that's pretty crazy! But cool :thumbsup

haha, crazy shit :thumbsup

heard about it along time ago, didn't realize it was gonna become a national phenomena...gonna have to head to the local chinese restaurant "Cream of sum yung guy" and stock up after work!!:thumbsup

Thats been around for a while.. I used to work in a fast food restaurant in high school where the owner saved all the old oil for just this purpose. :)

Free fuel that's recycled is very cool! :thumbsup

Biodiesel....

I have a feeling if the price of oil remains stuck in the 40's range, you'll start seeing more of these.

Very cool for sure, I don't think the car is very fast though.

Just watch out and more people will be doing what she did. What with the oil prices going up!
