Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Since used vegetable oil can be used in place of diesel, I'd guess vegetable oil is more energy dense than gasoline...

So based on a random articles I found in internet, mass density of vegetable oil is around 900kg/m^3, and gasoline 800kg/m^3, and since we know that E (energy) equals to m (mass) times c^2 (speed of light squared), we can tell that veggie oil indeed is more energy dense than gasoline.
