    You don’t want to be stuck behind a Prius going up a mountain. 😕
    But I’m all in favor of alternative energy sources, so I just pass instead of cuss. 😆

      A little off subject…but I saw Mythbusters, where they were testing gasoline saving myths, and one of them was true! They ran a diesel engine on used french fry oil….no kidding! 😯 😯

      For how long? That can’t be too nice the engine.
      (Not that I understand a whole lot about motors, but still.)

        They ran it for around half an hour I believe…til a full liter of it ran out. I was in shock…..seeing it work. Plus the engine was running really well…no stuttering or irregularity in the sound.

        Hm, interesting. Eat more french fries, run your car on the oil! 😆

        they also had an oil to fuel biofuel converter on the engine they only cost around 200 bucks but only work on diesle engines , you cant put it straight into the gas tank or your car will die
