Vegetable Oil Fuels Car – Owner Faces Felony Charges

During a time when fossil fuels are known to increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and alternative fuels are a hot topic, it seems as though the government would be praising the efforts of a 79 year old Illinois man who drives a 1986 Volkswagen Golf which he converted to run on vegetable oil and diesel.
