I have been seriously considering buying a used diesel and running it on biodiesel which you can make at home for about $.70/gal using old restaurant oil. However, I am still in the research phase- Does anybody know the $$ of bulk canola oil? soybean oil? Where can I find that information?

I have also run my truck on 50% mix of E85 with mixed results... mileage suffers a bit...especially if you run it on 100% E-85... I checked out the new E-85 compatible trucks- the E-85 mileage rating is poor. Until e-85 is priced $1.00 or so less than regular gas- then it will pay.

I am sick of paying high prices at the pump so I have to make a decision here soon, thanks for the opinions...
