I used to be very moralistic about this, people using off road fuel for road
travel thus cheating the government of taxes to maintain the roads, but I've
seen enough government cheating and mismanagement to not care much anymore. If
I personally can save a bit of the environment by diverting this Waste
Vegetable Oil (WVO) from the landfills, reduce the green house gasses, and
save some money, then I'll do it. I may even save the government money by not
asking for a subsidy to use WVO instead of gasoline and helping them reach
their Kyoto goals. ;-)
