Talking Fill 'er up with Turkey...

Fill 'er up with Turkey.

I wonder if that means instead of regular, plus and premium we would have dark, white, and honey roasted and smoked?

Cool if it's obtained only from byproduct, not cool if they're farming live animals for fuel for machines. Too creepy (& outrageous).

I wonder what a PETA member would do if they were almost out of gas and the only station for 100 miles was a ButterBall filling station?

But hey, look at the bright side - fuel prices would likely drop for that thanksgiving travel weekend. Plus, if you got stuck in traffic, the fumes would smell like dinner.

I've read another article about this thing. Apparently it can take almost anything you can think of, and turn it into somthing usefull.

Plastic, Bananna peals, feces etc.... The outcome just depends on what is put in.

There was someone in Arizona that developed recycled cooking oil that can be used as a diesel fuel subsitute some time ago.

Anything's possible.

All you need is carbon, hydrogen and work and you can make fuel, loosely speaking.
