The gas prices of California is becoming insane! Supposedly it's supposed to reach 5 bucks a gallon by Memorial day. What a great way to start your summer right? How are you guys gonna deal with this?

for real bro. i fill up maybe once every 2 months because you must start the car with diesel, then switch over to veggie. gotta filter the oil once you get it from the restaurant, but yeh its TITS. Nothing like driving around all day on used vegetable oil.

you can do it with pretty much any diesel car/truck.. they even make a conversion kit for the original Hummer. With the amount of driving/road trips i like to do it pays off Very fast. figure fuel isnt going to get any cheaper and free is even better... parts for the kit are 1100$-2000$ but figure that wasnt even a years worth of fuel cost. pays for itself quickly

Just looked up the Benz bio diesel. Pretty interesting. Nice way to save money man especially since you have a friend who owns a restaurant hahah. But is there any cons you've been having with that?

just when its really cold in the winter gotta let the engine/fuel warm up for a few extra minutes. also if you dont like the smell of frier grease you many not want to... .
edit about getting the grease. restaurants typically have to pay to get rid of the their WVO so if you walk in and ask for it chances are they'll give it up no problem.

nah some people just dont wanna give up the conforts of having someone refine their fuel for them, and some people just think it sounds like to much work, but then they still got plenty of time to bitch about 4$ gas lolol.
