Vegetable Oil Makes Cars Go Vroom

Many Britons have turned to vegetable oil to power their cars. Why the change? Because a gallon of vegetable costs about 10% less than a typical gallon of diesel. The substance has inspired the creation of small businesses that refine and sell the fuel. Although there are only few of them at the moment, experts believe as the demand for veggie oil increases, the number of businesses will increase too. Personally, I think this is great. Vegetable oil is much more friendly to the environment as it can be recycled from restaurants and emits virtually no carbon dioxide gas. It also can be used in the majority of cars with out needing to convert the engine. Unfortunately, experts say that it would be hard to implement the use of V-Oil in the states as the demand would be so high. Either way, it would be nice to see an alternative fuel source arise in America that suits our needs and allow us to be independent in that respect. I think a change is needed.
