There'd probably be a substantial weight gain throughout the potato-eating
public. The exhaust of the typical diesel VW burning recycled french-fry oil
smells of french-fries. Who can resist that?

That's great. That's exact the kind
of inventiveness that is needed
to solve the energy crisis. However I think you'll agree that it would
be rediculous to require that ALL cars run on chip oil.
To Chad and others, yes this is the same oil used to fry french fries at
McDonalds etc. And yes you can run your diesel engine on it. Diesels will
burn most anything that can be flowed through them. A friend of mine did
this (put a combination of vegetable oil and a thinner) into his car when
he went in for his California emissions check. Since vegetable oil breaks
down into slightly different components he really confused the guys but he
passed! Building a methanol digester is probably the best.
