I was watching Pimp My Ride on sunday, when the chose a 65' chevy SS Impala coupe to pimp..

They pimped out the car using recycled materials and put in a 800hp biodiesel. That gets 25mpg.



GAS's Mad Mike, even went on to explain & show the audience how bio-diesel fuel is made.

and the entire "Pimp My Ride" crew at G.A.S. (Galpin Auto Sports), as they
take aim on a '65 Chevy Impala, and give it a one of a kind ecological

others, the Impala gets an 800 horsepower diesel engine that will run on
biodiesel, turning it into one extraordinary clean machine!
"I would like to thank MTV and the entire 'Pimp my Ride' crew for
shining the spotlight on the importance of alternative fuels and the fight
against global warming. I am very encouraged by the great potential in
converting vehicles to run on biodiesel as a way to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "I am pleased that the power of
MTV's message will reach an audience throughout California and the nation
to reinforce the benefits of alternative-fuel vehicles and protecting our
environment."http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/04-09-2007/0004561781&EDATE=[/b]
