Cooking Oil Cars Turns The Table On High Fuel Prices

A growing number of Americans are setting up mini-refineries in their homes to produce biodiesel, a fuel made from waste cooking oil which is cleaner and cheaper than the petrol sold in gas stations. The sky-high price of crude oil is scaring everyone.

“It’s better for the engine, way better for the environment, it’s cheaper, but it depends how you price your labor,” said Dan Goodman, an entrepreneur in residence at the University of Maryland Business School who runs his Mercedes on biodiesel.
