Kris 0 #26 April 28, 2004 QuoteKnow what? BillVon would be proud of me for wanting to get a hybrid car...now if only they'd make one that has the torque and power my truck has, in the same size as my truck, I'd want one of those. The gas milage sucks right now, but its nice to tow stuff, its hard to get stuck and its fun to drive. Nevermind it looks good too! You shouldn't have to wait too long. Electric will always have the potential to generate gobs more torque than a gas engine ever will.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #27 April 28, 2004 QuoteThe third is the 'real' way, which is to add some sodium methoxide to the oil. Yup - that sounds like the stuff they used on TV. Apparently you simply cannot tell the difference between it and real diesel when your car's running on it. Makes you wonder why the EU is paying farmers not to grop crops when we could be growing oil crops and driving round on the stuff instead of paying arabs for the pleasure.

Heck, in the UK cops are going around giving tickets to anyone found using vegetable oil in their cars! Cooking oil is cheaper than diesel over there.

mr2mk1g 10 #29 April 28, 2004 Heck yeah its many many times cheeper. There's nothing the cops can do with regards to giving people a ticket... but using vegi oil in your car is tax evasion. Technically you need to be telling the tax man what you're doing and paying him fuel duty on it... then it aint all that cheaper than gas as 90% of what we pay over here is tax.
