Recycle, reuse, and ready to roll
Their vehicles may smell a little funny, but David and Richard Posluszny are getting the last laugh by paying 28 cents a gallon to run them on vegetable oil. The brothers, both majoring in building materials and wood technology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, drive home to Northborough once a month to fill up on used frying oil from local restaurants. David, 22 , was inspired to convert his diesel-powered 1983 Mercedes 240D to run on the oil after seeing a poster in his college dorm in 2002. But first he had to serve a year's tour in Iraq with the Army National Guard. He brought along a number of how-to books so he'd be ready to overhaul his car when he returned. And that's just what he did. He invested $1,200 in parts and spent four hours a day under the hood for two weeks installing them.
