Driving on Cooking Oil

While out door hanging near UCR a while back, I ran into a man working on a car in his driveway. It was great--he was rebuilding an old car, so that it would drive on used cooking oil. Now, I've read that a couple of men have actually driven from Alaska to Argentina in a car that runs on used cooking oil. They picked up all kinds of oil along the way, and everything worked. Now, that's what we need. Wouldn't it be great to refuel your car in a fast food drive-thru? Hmm, I wonder if trans fats are also an issue for machinery...
