A Beverly Hills, plastic surgeon who claimed he drove his car on human fat has come under the scrutiny of the California Department of Public Health and the state Board of Registration in Medicine.

Dr. Alan Bittner claimed that he was fueling a SUV with excess human fat he extracted from his patients.

He bragged about his use of alternative fuel from thighs and posteriors on his website.

Dr. Bittner has subsequently shut down his Rodeo Drive office, took down the bio fuel posts on his site and left the country.

A gallon of fat can be turned into roughly one gallon of biodiesel, but don’t bank on a “lipo-diesel” appearing at a fuel pump near you any time soon.
