Horse. Poo. Everything is "carbon neutral" where do you think petroleum comes from?

OM Oel Motor. Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on Peanut oil. Diesel came later. B100 is just fine. SVO when heated to 180+ and done right is probably ok as well but you wont catch me doing it (soy is $7 a gal now?).
