Yeah, but you make up for, Tom.

32mgp, huh? Anyone else besides me think the odometer must have been repaired with the wrong size gear? Or, maybe, he drives downhill most of the time.

Craigslist MPG ratings are a personal favorite of mine. Some guy selling an infiniti I think G20 was claiming 38mpg out of it.

Looks like a nice car, but if it ran on biodiesel no thanks.

Yes and no. Yes biodiesel is usually fine. But I've found a lot of craigslist people who refer to WVO as biodiesel, and if you make your own biodiesel, as he did, who's to say it was good stuff? Too many unknowns. If it was like $1,000 I'd buy it and not ask questions and run it on biodiesel. At $3,600 it needs to be pretty darn nice.

It was unclear if you knew that there IS a difference between WVO and biodiesel as many do use them interchangeably. People who lurk on the forum read this and so it's best not to confuse homemade biodiesel and ASTM certified road taxed biodiesel pump fuel.
