Not sure if you're accurate on that, but even so, bio-diesel takes
something that normally would be thrown away and gets some use out of
it...
I test drove the VW Jetta TDI (diesel) today that I'm thinking of
getting to replace Grace's WJ... Acceptable accelleration... It
actually felt like it had more elbow room than the WJ... The Tiptronic
shift make an automatic nearly bearable... From what I hear, people
are reporting around 48 mpg on the highway with it... Yeah, it's not a
Jeep, but maybe she won't roll it either... <grin>

Re: OT BioDiesel
Gasoline used to be a useless byproduct of kerosene, too. How long
to you thing if people paid for used frying grease before they started
charging for it, may all the way up as their cost increase too with
supply and demand, to well above the ninety ducks a gallon now:
http://www.sparkleretail.com/P-B0007DA4GK.html
Our farmer can't produce now, even if all their foods were converted
to the making alcohol their total would fuel Kalifornia for only one day
a year. Plus zapping the heck out of us via subsidies with higher and
higher taxes.
Until the bleeding heart liberal wacko limp democrats let us use
nuclear energy, at least to power our homes, gasoline will remain the
cheapest fuel we may use.
