I heard Vegetable Oil makes good biodiesel though. I want to get one of those old diesel mercedes as my next car. Running biodiesel would be pimp.

Starting with >Atomic/GuruNet, I found that Brominated means 'to combine a substance >with bromine or a bromine compound'. >Then I looked up Bromine. It's defined as: >A heavy, volatile, corrosive, reddish-brown, nonmetallic liquid >element, having a highly irritating vapor. It is used in producing >gasoline antiknock mixtures, fumigants, dyes, and photographic >chemicals. Atomic weight 79.904; atomic number 35; melting point 7. >2�C; boiling point 58.78�C; valence 1, 3, 5, 7. >YUCK!!

The additive cannot >exceed 15 parts per million (just one ounce must be diluted into 520 >gallons of Mountain Dew to stay under the toxicity level - or 5546 >(12) oz cans). >It is also illegal to put BVO in anything without declaring it first. >Coca-Cola found this out with a batch of Minute Maid Grape that had to >be recalled for not declaring BVO on it's label. Like PCBs, BVO >leaves traces in the fat cells of your body. Nothing like being dyed >from the inside out with your favorite citric soda, eh? Yes, >unfortunately BVO is in many citric-based soft drinks besides Mt.
