Convert your car into a water hybrid?

Ethanol/E85 has nothing to do with using vegetable oil/biodiesel. You must have a DIESEL engine to use vegetable oil. Most new cars can run on E85 now, but it is a waste of money. E85 is 10-15% cheaper than regular here in michigan, but gets 30% WORSE mileage. Doing the math on a car that averages 24mpg, regular gas costs 16 cents per mile to use, E85 costs 21 cents per mile.

So unless the price of E85 comes down to more than 30% cheaper than regular it is a waste of money. And that is not even counting the fact that all the demand for corn for fuel has jacked up the corn prices for everthing from livestock feed to food. Who the hell decided that corn was a good product to use for fuel anyways. Sugar cane(like used in south america) takes WAY less energy(fuel) to make it, making it a much better choice.
