Here is a frightening thought..... Having to do with vegetable oil.......... There has always been something of a "cheap" streak in people here in Idaho and when I worked for Mercedes Benz we always had this or that guy who was trying to put in a second tank and run vegetable oil. One guy even went as far as to get close and do some installation of parts in his four cylinder Diesel. He was thwarted when he started going around to the local McDonald restaurants soliciting used oil. He was told that there wasn't any. They cooked it down to nothing by adding fresh but never quite had to deal with the waste. Pretty scary about what might be in those fries.

I haven't been in a McDonald's since the 70's.

Can't believe this is legal in the USA, it's not even legal in Holland.

I hear ya big guy, we Americans are different. But wait, I think when we were in Amsterdam I could buy drugs and sex, it will take us a time to catch up. Ron Paul does what to legalize prostitution. :D :D

I'm running the five cylinder and love the mileage. Cooking oil is plentiful here and I would need to add a 5 micron filter and extra tank. I think I've been in Micky Ds twice in the last year.

Don't really like Micky-d's, and for a few bucks more, you can get the Red Robin special at $6.97 with all you can eat fries!!!!!!!

Not a big fan of eating out but when in Cali we do like In & Out but prefer Five Guys on the east coast. Everyone has to cheat some time. Just not before a Dr.s visit.
