Used vegetable oil eh?

Looks nice

mc73nova 05-24-2009 07:16 PM
To each his own, but I wouldnt drive that thing if it ran on tap water!
Good luck with it though.

yea, its the same system they used on that samurai on "xtreme4x4"

9 hours driving round trip .... uggggg

LTb1ow 05-24-2009 07:20 PM
So what is the price savings(?) from the oil compared to gas?

bandit88 05-24-2009 07:24 PM
you start the car on diesel till the car warms up and go to veggie mode.... the oil is free and the filters are cheap
plus the car gets average 45 mpg
more money for the t/a!

Why not?

I'm really not sure what you're getting at, but there is nothing to be jealous of.

maroman88 05-24-2009 08:03 PM
umm how is the veggie oil free?? and u couldnt find like a jetta er sumthin less....hmm

lol good luck with it

bandit88 05-24-2009 08:05 PM
actually the jetta tdi's are the same price. as for the veggie oil..... you ask restaurants for the used veggie oil that they have to pay to get rid of and they are glad to give it to you

91chevywt 05-24-2009 08:06 PM
Its the leftover crap that restaurants use in their fryers. They usually have to pay to get rid of it so if anyone wants to take it for them, they are usually glad to give it away.

because restaurants and other places that use it usually have to pay for disposal, if you go to them and ask for it, they are often happy to oblige

I think what they are trying to say is that its free, hence cheaper then gas or diesel.
Since you are female, you can get away with it. I would have chosen a Jetta, as if thats better...
