HEADLINE: LOCAL PAPER INTERESTED IN VEGETABLE OIL CAR

Our local paper, the Bemidji Pioneer ran a nice article on the car. The article, linked here, was well done by Leslie Rith-Najarian and I appreciate the interest it has generated. With fuel prices high and taking an ever-increasing portion of household income, energy is an important topic for rural and city dwellers alike. It is actually pretty exciting to see nearly everyone engaging in discussions on energy use. This is something we should have done 30 years ago when we had the first warnings of a finite supply of oil.

Hey Dan, nice ride! I'm currently doing a 1986 Jetta for WVO. I'm working on a centrifuge to clean the oil. I should be spinning soon. I hope it works.
Thanks for posting this. I may have to get in touch with you at some point. You have way more cool gauges and switches than I do.
Nice to see someone else in northern Mn taking the plunge.
