Jeffrey Miottel, 36, of San Rafael, Calif., drives a cream-colored, 1984 Mercedes 300TD that inspires hunger pangs.
If you're stuck in traffic behind him, you won't be choking on diesel exhaust instead, you might find yourself wondering if you've left an old restaurant takeout bag under the back seat.
Miottel, a contractor and environmentalist, makes his own fuel from used grease recycled from local Marin County restaurants.
