If someone is buying, it must taste that good, or they just have really good marketing. Another great example of capitalism at its finest.

If I can find idiots, I mean customers, to buy a drink for $20, then I'd definitely go into that business. I'd be a fool to charge less if they're willing to pay more.

You are absolutely right Ming! We are all idiots for allowing the prices of every single thing to go up without question (when there is no lack of!)!!. Back in the 60's they used to have public outcries and protest now we just say oh well just let it happen! I guess its just a common feeling amongst Americans to not care until it personally affects you!And it will sooner than you think!
Just a thought!

I wish i had a TDI car, if i did i would be able to get the old used oil from my local chinese restaurant for like $25 a barrel. That would be 50 cents a gallon for fuel.

Tell me about it. I own a TDI, it cost me 67.00 to fill up my car. That was at $4.79 in Jersey. I remember when I bought the car it cost me $25.00 to fill up. I don't know how this truck drivers are surviving

If only it were that easy. By the time you add the conversion kit, collect the oil, filter the oil, store the oil; it comes out to alot more than 50 cents a gallon. You have any idea how bad a 55 gallon drum of used cooking oil stinks?

I'm sure some places would even give it to you for free because you're saving them money by taking it away.
