This car runs on Veggie oil!

October 28th 2006 17:55
My Biodiesel beach cruzer




I recently switched from my Toyota to a VW diesel car that runs on Bio-diesel.
I am so stoked to be off our nation's oil addiction! We are lucky on Maui to have a 100% Biodiesel fuel station. They collect used vegetable oil from deep fryers all over the island, and convert it to Car fuel for Diesel Engines. If there wasn't this station here, I could also buy a engine conversion kit. Then I could convert my diesel car to run on store bought vegetabe oil.


I know this alternative isn't going to be enough to solve our world's energy crisis, but it's a wonderful start and it's better than doing nothing while we wait for another answer. And perhaps the answer is to use many solutions.
So, if you have a diesel car, find a bio-diesel producer near you, or find out more about conversion kits. And if you are still driving a fossil fuel powered vehicle, trade it in for a diesel, and get on the veggie oil band wagon!
Think of this window sticker on the car: Biodiesel, No war required : )

Check out Woody Harrelson's website: Voice Yourself
For a link on the home page which is a U.S. directory of Biodiesel Stations near you.

That is great - But how expensive are the cars..something tells me somehow someway the government is going to make it near impossible for thisto actually happen all over the U.S The car probalby cost a 1/2 million dollors or something ridictulous and then when you get it you have to drive 50 miles to fill it up. They want us to buy oil - so nuts

I bought this '99 VW Jetta 9 months ago for $8,800
And it is an awesome car! I get like 45 MPG.
Before this car I had my Toyota and a '85 Mercedes Benz-$3500 and before that '82 Benz- $1000!
They both drove on biodiesel beautifully.
Check how far away it is in your area. Woody's website links you to US stations.
I noticed some related ads in the corner of this post of Comparing different processing plants.
Good Luck!
