I think you're right, do you need a garden to run one? Does it need fertilizer, insecticides etc..?

Most people get thier oil from restaurants (leftovers), but with the economy getting worse--will there be a good supply of used veg oil? I guess you could always just buy it at the grocery store, it would probably still be cheaper than gasoline :)

Have you found good instructions? We were thinking of trying this on our second vehicle to see how it works, but we have never followed through :tsk

If it does gas would be I believe about $4.40 gallon for every $1.00 oil goes up it goes up $.05 at the pump
