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.

"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 :(
