Seriously..........

with the price of diesel I've been wondering if I could pour in a 2 gallon jug of fresh Mazola with every fillup?

Isn't vegetable oil a good lubricant?

Would it hurt anything?

I think you'll have issues with the acidity of the straight veggie oil. Also, I've heard that it can hold a lot of water. I'm no expert, however. Shortly, others will tell us how detrimental it will be...

Honestly.....

I didn't think to check the price of corn oil. It is however cheaper at $2/gallon.

at local prices a gal of corn oil would cost $13.28 I can't see how that would help the cause. In less you work for a company that can buy bulk I can't see this working.
