I think the cooking oil fuel thing has mostly died a death now, so
many folks have tried it and found that it is not quite what they were
led to expect.

It's about time it died.  I can't understand all the hype it got in the
first place:

1)  There's not enough used cooking oil in all the world to make any
difference in energy supplies.  

2)  By the time a person drives all over town rounding up oil, then
processing it, then subtracting the volume of unusable glycerin, amortizing
start-up costs, goes through the hassle of waste disposal and wastes a whole
bunch of their time, the balance sheet looks to me to be in the red, right
off the git-go.

3)  I can see it now:  Veggie oil wars.  There are only two deep fat fryers
in town but there are five guys brewing their own fuel.  

I *hope* the hype dies down.

So many projects.  So little time.
