Going Greasy Green

Is this the wave of the future????

Police in Manila, Philippines are looking to convert their patrol cars to run on a mixture of diesel and used cooking oil from McDonald's, police officials and Mickey D's execs said Tuesday.

Because oil prices are so high, the project would convert cars in the city's financial district to run on a mix of 40 percent diesel and 60 percent cooking oil, its police chief.

Used cooking oil will be donated by financial district outlets of the Big Mac.

So does that mean that Manila will smell of french fries?

      some municipalities in alabama already do this for their city fleet (garbage trucks, electric dept., etc.). residents and business owners donate the cooking oil. also takes rye soap. auburn university sponsors the cities with the equipment. report about places in the US too that are doing this!



    20. 20

      Perez why the fuck do you keep giving this whore more publicity? Seriously! She is fucking ridiculous and gets to me bad!

      What the hell has she done beside lie on her back and display her lack of morals and dignity to gain fame…oh yeah and become a homewrecker too.

      Perez:

      This is old news! There was just a story on NPR about entire industries in the US based on this. There are companies who now drive around to all the restaurants and fast food places in NYC, pick up their used cooking oil, and convert it to usable fuel.

      Also, Daryl Hannah has been doing this for years and talking about it online and on Howard Stern for years!

      what a fantastic idea!

    38. efab says – reply to this


      38

      it's called bio diesel you nim rods. and you don't pour the oil in the car. it gets (easily) coverted in to bio diesel and used as regular fuel. this is not groundbreaking… but it's a great step environmentally for the Phillipines, so that I applaud.



    39. 39

      And when they ban transfats they have nothing to run their cars on. Transfat is what burns in biofuel.

    40. oh th says – reply to this

      i watched some news broadcast that actually said people are coming in and stealing the oil by vacuuming it up from the dumpsters restaurants have outside where they store thier used cooking oil its crazy the things people will steal for moneys

You're a fuckin racist! go to hell! oh yeah and are you guys also surprised that filipinos are literate and educated? yeah people. we can speak english perfectly.. so before anybody makes a insulting comment here, i suggest you guys go get an education and brush up on your history. your ignorance is a disgrace.

      I run my Mercedes Benz on recycled veggie oil also known as bio-diesel. You don't need to convert a engine if it is already a diesel vehicle, all you do is go to a bio-diesel station and pump the shit in your diesel car or truck.

      yeah people! pinoy pride! hindi naman sila mga naliligo eh! haha! so racist! Filipinos are far more educated than americans, duh! you may be good in the language because you grew up saying that, but we, we have to learn it,, and look at that?! we're even better than you!



    79. 79

      I'd rather be hated by a few people on Perez than the whole world. You elected a retard for president… twice. Goes to show how smart you guys are getting. People all around the world laugh at you. and yeah, when you were smelling shit in manila, that was probably you. Not used to taking a bath and all, being in a tropical country you sweat so you kinda need to you know? but who would think you dumb redneck would know anyway?

      Re: drunkstlove –

      bigotry. how fun, for a troglodyte.

      first of all, we've elected a lot of idiots, all with better IQ's than the idiots you've probably elected. your president can't even syllabicate. second of all, we only developed this penchant for screwing ourselves over, thanks to the capitalists who have for too long preyed on our country since the time of the *gasp* spaniards and americans.

      AND lastly, goes to show how small the world you're living in is. filipinos are notoriously clean. even the poorest people here bathe thrice a day, never leave the home without wearing deodorant and smelling of shampoo and cologne. so even if our streets stink, at least our people don't.

      so next time you try to make a commentary on another race, please be sure to get your facts first :)

      first of all, filipinos are so much cleaner and smarter than americans, duh. that's a fact. another fact: most americans think the philippines is just a group of islands. it's an archipelago, loser. use your head before insulting others!!! plus, we read Perez which means we can understand it but can you understand this: bakla ka, umuwi ka sa nanay mo!

      i know you can't understand that. sucks for you. :P
