Exactly, my other car is a 2003 VW TDI. I am a all diesel family, Except for the lawn mower. I make biodiesel at a cost of about $1.00 a gallon and use it in the car.

So now a state senator is passed a bill through committee (100% aye BTW) that will make it illegal for us 'normal' people to transport used kitchen grease. Do you have a $2,000,000 environmental insurance coverage? If you do, then you can apply (with a fee) for a permit to transport used oil.

Yeah I was hoping that my post was dripping with sarcasm and you guys would be able to pick up on it.

I never understood people who thought that would work.

Does anyone wonder why people do things illegal? They are driving us to do it...
Now we will be secertly taking it home in 32oz big gulp cups making like it is a drink.
Now the restraunt owner will have to pay to have it removed and I am sure they will keep a closer watch on their waste tanks and make them have a plackard in place. How is WVO an enviromental hazard? I could see the food maybe.
I am glad I am not NORMAL.. I would still do it.

I'm not driving a coffin. I'll just pay the price and drive less when I can. Gas is going back up too...

Fuel efficient coffins

I will never buy a small vehicle unless there is nothing else because both of my trucks I feel have saved my life in all of my accidents. In 1999 I was rear ended by a drunk driver in a full size 1/2 ton chevy pickup on St Patricks Day. He was going 55 MPH and I was at a dead stop, I was driving a 1 ton chevy at the time and it was loaded, weighed over 10,000 lb. It stopped him in 3 feet. I was still injured but I survived, put my head through the back window and fractured my back. That is how I got my Dodge.
Then last year I was on the I10 freeway and I was stopped in the # 1 lane when I rear ended by 2 nissan trucks both going 55 MPH. Totaled both of theirs and minimal damage to mine, just alot of anoying arguing with the insurance companies.
I will pay the price for the fuel and whine about the price but Me and my family will be alive to whine.
Jim.
