Save Gas. Fill ‘er Up with Grease.

Gas CanI’m still on my “save gas” kick now that gas prices are going back up.  After scrounging through the internet last night, I found a way to significantly cut back on fuel usage.  Unfortunately, it only works for diesel powered cars and trucks.

Instead of filling up with regular diesel, throw some French Fry grease in the tank too!  According to GreaseCar.com, you can use vegetable oil in your fuel system along with regular diesel.  In addition, using vegetable oil reduces emissions by 30%.

Since I don’t have a diesel car, I can’t vouch for this one, but if anyone out there has tried this, I’d love to know how it works!

    That’s pretty cool. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this kind of stuff filter into the everyday market if gas prices stay high. It’s this type of research and development that we need to get rid of our dependence on foreign oil.
