McDonald's meal
Breitbart reports that Manila police are trying to switch over some of their patrol cars to biodiesel, and that McDonald's stores in the city's Makati financial district are the source for used cooking oil. High oil prices have pushed the cops to make the switch to a blend of 40 percent diesel and 60 percent McDiesel, which is being donated by the local outlets of the chain.
The cops already have one car on the patrol and are looking for more restaurants to sign up for the program. Aside from the delicious after-scent, the cost savings could be good enough to make it a nationwide best practice, Manila police told the news site.
