Toyota pours a little cold water on ethanol (video)
Monsanto has had a good quarter from all the corn seed being purchased now in preparation for planting what many farmers, investors and political leaders -- including Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm -- hope will be the beginnings of an ethanol boom to run all the new alternative-fuel vehicles out there. But Bill Reinert, Toyota's head of alternative fuel vehicles, poured a little cold water on the ethanol frenzy during a forum at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

SVO Veggie Road Trip to Madison Wisconsin for Halloween
I shot some video in my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta which I converted to run on waste vegetable oil using a system from www.goldenfuelsystems.com. I headed north for Halloween to Madison Wisconsin to visit my best friend who's in grad school up there. I also shot some video of the craziness of Halloween on State Street in Madison. Over 100,000 people usually attend the event. My brother didn't have his veggie car so he took his gaser which was expensive! He spent well over $150 dollars on fuel for the trip. I was able to make the trip for free by burning the waste vegetable oil that was given to me for free from restaurants. I converted my car to run on Free Waste Vegetable oil using a system from www.goldenfuelsystems.com. My oil gathering was done using their one shot filtration unit. It was bellow freezing at night and in the low to mid 40's during the day and the one shot filtration unit was still able to pump oil into my 12gal veg tank.
