Grease, Not Gas

We caught up with Piebald guitarist Aaron Stuart as the band was refilling their vegetable oil-fueled van with, well, more vegetable oil. Stuart said the crowd here was "super nice" and hoped all the Piebald fans new and old would come out when they come through Reading in about two months with Pennsylvania natives mewithoutYou.

Stuart urged that everyone try out the benefits of vegetable oil and of alternative fuels in general and repeatedly plugged the Web site www.greasenotgas.com. Using almost solely leftover grease from restaurant deep fryers, the band has covered roughly 13,000 miles on only about $500 spent on petroleum fuels. For the math impaired, that's 26 miles per dollar or 71.5 miles per $2.75 gallon of gas. Gnarly stuff.
