SVO

I'm so tired of feeding the massive oil companies that after record profits this year, seem to continue to complain on their hardships and lobby our government for more exploration. ENOUGH! It's a finite resource - like there are no more dinos to die and leave it! What don't we understand about renewable? Sure, I think ethanol is a great start...and it already scares the oil companies. BUT, I'm currently in the process of seeking to convert a regular diesel engine auto to an SVO vehicle (not biodeisel, because that is not enough). Not familiar with SVO? Well, its stands for Straight Vegetable Oil. The trick is in cold climates keeping the fat viscous (some go two tanks or a heating element). But basically you can pull your car up to any greasy spoon (Chinese buffets are the best because just like your own arteries, the saturated fat isn't good), ask to take their veggie oil (which they usually need to pay to have disposed) and you're off and running (about 50 cents a gallon if you needed to purchase). More on this later...
