Funny... there's this "Frying Squad" story from the UK, the World Energy report on a tax crackdown on the guys in Maine, and this from Oz, all more or less at once - from the veg-oil list yesterday:
>Hi Guys: > >I briefly heard on the BBC this morning that in Australia people are >being ticketed for running diesels on veggie oil and thus not paying a >road tax on fuel. Then someone else told me they heard about this in >San Francisco, California (which I can't find confirmation of). > >Anyone know more about this? > >Lori Best Keith >Ummm, FYI!! > >http://news.yahoo.com/news? >tmpl=story2&cid=573&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20021009/od_nm/petrol_dc > >LONDON (Reuters) - A Welsh police team dubbed "the Frying Squad" has >been formed to sniff out motorists who fuel their cars with cooking >oil from fish and chip shops in a bid to avoid paying high government >fuel taxes. > >Three Welsh motorists have already been caught and fined for using >waste oil from restaurants selling Britain's favorite deep-fried >dish, the Times newspaper reported Wednesday. > >"I have halved my motoring costs since I started running my Subaru on >cooking oil," the paper quoted one of those stopped as saying. > >"The car runs just as well and even smells a lot better than diesel." > >The drivers were fined 500 pounds ($780) and warned that persistent >offenders may face up to seven years in jail. > > > >How does one make WVO burn to smell like diesel fuel? There must be >some type of additive, eh? Good reason not to run dedicated WVO and >be able to switch back to derv when going through toll booths. Time >to take the decals off the windows. ------------------------ Yahoo!
