From the "we couldn't make this stuff up" file: A man in Mississippi, Robert Tomey, recently converted his two cars to run on vegetable oil. Using systems he bought from Greasecar, an online provider of veggie fuel systems, his Ford pickup and VW Beetle now emit a pleasant, french-fry-like odor and require just a bit of diesel to get them going. The irony: he owns four McDonalds franchises; thus, his supply of grease is nearly unlimited.
