Running on Vegetable Oil


Some of you may wonder - what is it like running on vegetable oil? Well, actually it's less exciting that you may have been lead to believe. It's basically just like running on diesel, except it feels cleaner, and it smells amazing. I hang my head out the window like a dog, fantasizing about egg rolls or french fries, especially when we're hundreds of miles away from a real town with real food. It burns at a higher temperature than diesel, so it runs best when the engine has been heated up. I swear our car feels like it's hovering about a quarter of an inch off the asphalt when we run it on vegetable oil. So in essence, egg roll gas.
