my favorite part of this article was

Luna Tic recently converted his car to run on the cooking oil discarded by restaurants; he collects it from vats outside Chinese restaurants. He says he gets 12 miles to the gallon and recently drove from Salem, Ore., to Seattle burning nothing but recovered vegetable oil.

i think that's a neat idea.
i'm not sure i would be willing to do that, though, especially without guidance.

I hear ya, I'm that way as well. With my limited mechanical skills, I'd be more likely to crack an engine block than get it to run on discarded cooking oil.
