Just like in that Simpsons episode where Homer and Bart try to get into the grease business. One of the best episodes in my opinion!

Looks like the meme that everyone could fill their diesel car's tank for free with fryer grease the restaurants don't want is coming to a swift end. Saw this one coming from day one.

Just as we predicted for biodiesel. People were talking about how your could run your diesel engine on "free" fryer grease. Now restaurants are thinking of charging for it. And now, people are stealing it. Isn't it amazing how alternatives suddenly become not so cheap once people start using them?

They can't charge a whole lot. A company selling yellow grease still has a lot of overhead, so they can't offer $2.50/gallon and still make money. Paying $1-2/gallon for fuel is still way cheaper than the alternative.
