It would probably happen under this administration if they could figure a way to make a diesel
engine that would run with a 50% ethanol mixture.

Bio diesel is the sweetheart of the moment. There are so many people
around here burning cooking oil that used oil has gone from something
they had to pay to haul away to another profit center. (usually pure
cash for the chef or restaurant manager)

At my wife's place they trade it for free electrical work. Their
electrician runs his trucks on cooking oil.

My owner's manual specifically prohibits it. But I hear it's pretty damn cheap!
