When my boss built a new Jeep/Chrysler dealership 5 years ago, they 
installed a waste oil burning furnace. He claimed that the use of the 
waste oil from servicing cars would more than pay for the system in a 
very short time. As it happened, the price of furnace oil doubled 
shortly afterwards, so he lucked out in that area. Unfortunately, the 
recent crash of the automotive sales business hasn't been as kind.
