LoveCraft BioFuels has been getting a lot press recently, and for some good reasons: they’ll convert your diesel Mercedes to biodiesel and they sell already converted Mercedes.

I’ve been a fan of biodiesel ever since I first researched it in 1997 for a piece on the Veggie Van. At the time, many people thought this was just wacky. I mean, used vegetable oil from fast food restaurants fueling a van? Who’d thunk it. But it works. It’s only about $3/gallon, which is the same as the price of gas (here, anyway). And it’s recycling.

For more information, you can begin with LoveCraft, for tips on lhow to collect oil. I should note that you don’t have to gather your own oil. There are now fueling stations too.

Now, if only I had an old Mercedes Benz….

Thanks to Ideal Bite for the tip.
