It can be a bad idea in more way than one:

* if enough people do it the g-man says "where's my tax money?". I think
some folks in the UK have gone through that...
* french-fry oil might be OK in indirect injection or mechanical
injection (or electronically-controlled mechanical injection) setups but
it wreaks havoc on modern stuff with a common-rail fuel system. There
are some things you just shouldn't pressurize to 22,000+ PSI
