This happened in Illinois as well; the legislature let him off the hook:
SPRINGFIELD --A 79-year-old Decatur man who runs his Volkswagen Golf with vegetable oil could soon be spared paying a state fee to keep it running.
David Wetzel has run his 1986 VW on veggie oil for about five years, but recently got a visit from state Department of Revenue agents. They wanted him to pay $2,500 for a license as a fuel supplier because he was making his own fuel.
When Wetzel protested and didn't pay, the state told him it'd be a felony.
Lawmakers took notice, and they voted 115-0 Tuesday to let Wetzel off the hook. The measure still needs Gov. Rod Blagojevich's signature to become law, and the Senate already approved it.
