I think I can do better. Still on petroleum diesel but I have about 35 gallons of WVO ready to convert but I will be doing a test batch with some unused cooking oil. Maybe biodiesel will give me better economy

This is the first full tank on the car since ownership. I did replace the glow plugs, adjusted the valves, changed the oil, checked tire pressure and other repairs. It has a sunroof seal leak so I can only drive in good weather. I purchased it in October for bio-diesel plans in the future and also to use it to drive when I want to do extended work on my '03 Corolla. I want to replace of rebuild the injectors soon because I am sure that is hurting the little fuel economy it does have but they are not cheap and it will have to wait a little.
