McDonald's to Recycle Oil to Biodiesel

McDonald's Corp said on Monday it is to convert its British delivery fleet to run on biodiesel made largely from its own recycled cooking oil.
Matthew Howe, senior vice president with McDonald's UK, said the fast food restaurant should eventually be able to replace the six million liters of diesel its 155 vehicles fleet used last year with cooking oil from its 1,200 restaurants in Britain.

Did you know McDonald's has premium-style coffee now? And they have this thing called the Dollar Menu, and everything on it is only $1! I ordered about 3 burgers, two fries and two drinks and it was all under $8!

Now thats a usage of biofuels I can really get behind. It uses locally generated waste, ensuring that all the production/distribution/land use costs are minimized, and no food is being taken from people's mouths to feed hungry cars. Nice. I still wont eat at McD's tho. yuck.
