I thought about who to procure along the route. Maybe we call ahead to
the greasy spoons along the way and have them hold onto a quantity of
old fry oil for us to remove for them.

Now, first off I think that would be cool. I thought of something
similar
for my planned trip to Florida, but it's too much work and I don't
trust the
Benz/veggie enough given past experience.
BUT as far as this trip is concerned...
That would be quite the load with around 400 gallons of oil on back
there
What's that like another 2800lbs not counting the rather heavy/stout
trailer
to haul it?... Especially once you started using some and you had a
2000lbs
of sloshing oil back there.
Also I'm not sure how cold it's going to be at various times you'd be
driving... The biodiesel I heard mentioned before would probably be
good
till around freezing...
With the frybrid, the car should run ok if it's set up well for some
pretty
cold temps, however, if it's bad oil, it's going to be a nightmare to
pump
at below about 80 degrees. Even if it's good oil, make sure you don't
need
to pump it (like from the tank to the car) below freezing, or have
some good
heater to liquify it first. (though the cold would solve the sloshing
part
mentioned earlier...)
Good Luck!

My co-worker is considering taking his frybrid equipped 300D with a
trailer of oil. 10,000 miles on WVO would be quite an
accomplishment. He
wants to stand next to the pipeline with a bottle of Wesson oil and
"show"
the pipeline his third finger. Would make a great picture - he
should get
Frybrid to thrown in some sponsorship grease.

could be $ 5.00 a gal x 500 gallons for the

We could hook up on 90 or 94...think those might be highways you'd

across on that would intersect.
"Big if" is understood on anything like this, esp when planned 1.5
years
in advance. You may hit the lottery by then and pay for everyones
fuel
:-)
