On May 11, 2006, a team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign including Professor Yuanhui Zhang, a bio-environmental engineer, discovered a breakthrough method for converting raw pig waste (manure) into a form of crude oil.

You betcha. I am accustomed to crap in so very many areas of my life now that the assimilation will be effortless.

If it costs less than gasoline, hell yes!!! The exhaust smell might come in handy too!
A pig produces 6 gallons per day!! Holy Crap!
I read in a magazine about a car that runs on used vegetable oil. The driver got free used oil from restaurants. Free fuel but the conversion cost some bucks. Check the link below.

Have you ever driven through central Iowa (the Interstate 80 corridor) in mid summer? That horrendous stench is coming from commercial pig farms. Now multiply that by the amount needed to produce "millions of gallons' of porcine petroleum...
I'm glad I live in one of the western states, cause the winds blow from west to east.

It depends. Ford/GM, and suchlike - yes, I would because they are designes so loosely that normal gas can cause all kinds of problems. Honda/Toyota - no way - their desing is so precise that fuel variations may cause valves to burn. This is the reason there are many companies that make natural gas conversion kits for big three, and NONE for Honda or Toyota.

Why not? I already fuel mine with dead plants and animals a.k.a. "oil."
