LPG for motor fuel makes great sense everywhere BUT the U.S. because of
our tax structure and retailer greed/laziness.

Rover were the first to do this, more than 50 years ago. I've seen the car
in their museum.

My LPG Waggy 13 miles/imp gal costs me less to run than my TJ 23 miles/imp
gal. Its almost midnight, and although I usually translate all our
measurements into yours, I've had a few glasses of wine with my g/f and I
can't be bothered :-)

He's back in Georgia AFAIK. Nice guy, not a great president.

Some veg oils can be run straight without heating. However these are
expensive for general use. When a cab company I know of bought two
diesel engined Checker cabs in the 70s, drivers bitched that there
weren't enough fuel places. After a couple ran them dry out of spite,
they gave each driver two gallon jugs of Wesson Oil, which they could
carry in their trunks for emergency fuel that didn't stink and was
legal to carry in a commercial vehicle. It ran fine and never caused a
problem, but they never burned that much of it.

Using used cooking oils in diesels is done in two ways, either by
fitting a second tank heated with engine coolant or by converting the
used oils into proper "biodiesel" via what is called
"transesterification", which beaks it down into the biodiesel fuel and
glycerin.

Does it make economic sense for large numbers of people? I don't think
so. But if only a few do it they can get rid of waste grease and amuse
themselves at the same time.
