I recall BioWillie being the prophet of corn oil diesel about 15 years ago or so...

The old stuff that made your fries actually tasty was called SUET. Don't really want to think about that much more but I was never big on McDs anyway. DQ is king in my part of the world anyway.

DQ has much better Hot Fudge Sundae's... and when it comes to the choice of "malt or shake" well, McD's just pales or "pails" in comparison.... Pour McD's in a bucket and let it melt, I'll head to DQ for my bananananana malt .....
(never knew exactly when to stop spelling banananana, and it seeped over into Missississississippippissississippippippi).....

The birds love suet on their way south. I put a suet feeder out in the fall for the birds (and the squirrels) to get energy.

I lean more towards Whataburger, but McDonalds doesn't use suet per this 2015 ABC report. But they did/do use a beef flavoring:

We have a bird feeder. Put about a quart of oiled sunflower seeds in every day. The scrub jays eat their fill unless the squirrel from hades runs his off. Then the doves clean the thing out. Since all these bird critters are pigs and slop seeds all over the ground, the fox has been noshing regularly. Came home from prayer breakfast this AM and that darn fox didn't want to run away. Finally took off after i ran towards him and yelled (well waddle is more correct).

Here in Akron Ohio, we have a trucking company (JRayl) that runs its entire fleet on CNG. They have an on site fueling station all set up to fill the tractors. You can also fuel your vehicle there as well if need be. I have no idea how far they can go on a tank. Nor how they refill the tanks away from their main terminal if necessary. But, they've been doing this for a few years now and the company has invested a lot of money and resources into making it work. That might work for a large DP with lots of storage for fuel. I'm not sure how well it would work on a smaller scale of a 1 ton pickup that didn't have an external bed tank.

900 CNG stations in the USA. Sounds like after several decades it's finally catching on! Anyone want to run the percentage of the 900 CNG stations when the number of fuel stations are well over 1000,000 locations?
