A Connecticut startup company, Green Earth Technology, expects to deliver a motor oil this month that is made from animal fat. The company claims that it is chemically identical to crude oil. A quart of this new oil is expected to sell for $5.99-$6.99. Although it already sells GET's small engine oil (2 & 4 cycle) in retail stores like Home Depot, it is waiting for final marketing approval for the automotive product from the American Petroleum Institute.

While I like the idea of becoming less dependent on foreign crude oil, I will have to see extensive wear tests before I put this stuff (if ever) in my Hemi.
