@Gina The thing is, it's actually cheaper and less polluting if you switch from petrol to bio-ethanol. You pretty much just need to get sorghum syrup for brewing alcohol and a little distillery setup. It can even be mixed it with regular petrol.
For diesel engines you can just get the used oil from the fryers and filter it into like a plastic storage tank.
@cee @Gina I actually would try this myself but none of the cars I drive are mine, but I would let my parents know in case things get really bad.
