dude. This is fucked up right here:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/09/14/germany.catfuel.reut/index.html
BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel -- dead cats.
Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel -- a homemade blend of garbage, run-over cats and other ingredients -- is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel.
"I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem.".......

It's just so random. Like why cats?
Could set up a good system between the pound. Any cats not claimed / adopted within a month get turned into fuel.

What do you mean why cats? Makes perfect sense. Finally we've found out why cats exist.

I gotta hand him this- it's inventive. You know he wasn't cheating in inventor's school or anything ("say, Billy, I just don't think your dead cat fuel plan is workable" "everyone says that, Mr Meyers, but you'll see one day!"

The CNN article linked above states that he is now denying cats are used in his concoction. :(

He's not killing them himself. His car is when he runs them down.
I wonder if he stops and picks them up, or if he has some sort of collection device that scoops up the flat cat and puts it right in the fuel tank. Now that would be cool!

If you're looking for an alternate to Fuel, might I suggest Incubus?

When this thing hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit.

Please help control the pet population. Have your cats turned into fuel.
