Car fuelled on cooking oil makes epic journey
A honeymooning couple travelling around Australia in a car fuelled by fish and chip oil say the pungent smell of their
vehicle has intrigued people, not repelled them.
Gerard and Rachel Mimmo.
who have driven nearly 2500km from Sydney to Emerald, Queensland on donated
vegetable oil from fish and chip shops, say people are "quite interested" in their car s smell.
"They wonder what it is at first, but once you explain the idea everyone is really interested," Mr Mimmo said.
"We ve been pulling by on the side of the road, people chat to you « where ever you stay, and people are
interested.
"
The civil engineer, who moved back to Australia with his English wife, said their trip in the four-wheel drive
named "Battered Fish" had gone smoothly so far.
"Haven t had any problems with the car at all, it runs just as good on veg oil as it does on diesel," he said.
"We absolutely do intend to make it all around on veg oil.
