Local Governments Turning to Waste Vegetable Oil Fuel. By Jim Norman, NYTimes, July 6, 2008.

Motivated in equal measure by budget considerations, environmental concerns and the desire for American energy independence, a handful of local governments have begun to fuel their vehicles with waste vegetable oil. Westchester County, north of New York City, has converted 15 of its vehicles to run on waste vegetable oil, ranging from a garish green Veggie Van used for educational purposes to heavy equipment like a garbage truck and a farm tractor."
