This brings up another interesting possibility:  I haven't been to a gas 
station in 2 years.  My daily driver (2001 VW Jetta TDI) is converted to run on 
used vegetable oil from local restaurants.  So now, (purists turn away from the 
screen) I have a Turbo Diesel engine and 5 speed trans that are being prepped 
to go in the Datsun.  Top-down Datsun fun, at 50 MPG on free vegetable oil.  
Sure beats a Prius. Oh, and it's renewable energy, great for the environment, 
and an American made fuel. OK, sounds kinda funny, though.  
clackety-clackety-clack.  For more info, check out my fledgling web site:

"You must not let your tank get down very far, then. 11.7 gals @$3.00 per
gal is $35. Putting in $20 worth and not filling it is getting easier all
the time. Wait'll this summer when it hits $4 per gal and you won't even get
half a tank.

LPG/Autogas is looking better all the time, BUT, greedy government is
raising the excise on that as well :(
