I have been reading about making biodiesel at home from wast oil at
fast food resteraunts. Is this easy to do? DOes the diesel made run as
good as regular diesel? Will it harm the car/tractor/etc. I burn it in?
Is it economical? I am not an environmental nut but I drive alot and
the price of gas is gettign scarry.

For home production, the infopop forum linked to above is the best
choice.

You can also get a lot of info at http://www.biodieselnow.com/ about
biodiesel in general, vehicle concerns, etc. It's geared more toward
people who buy BD instead of making it

Fzzzzzzzz, its $3.54/gal here in San Jose, CA.

we just got to benefit from the new tax cut. Now we can buy B99 for
$2.75/gal. Last time I bought B100 for $3.40. B20 "Biowillie"
available in Carl's Corner for $2.19/gal.

Diesel in California costs more than premium fuel, which is wrong, wrong,
wrong, and I hear the truckers are angry about it.

I have seen references that suggest that it is mainly because CA is requiring
a Biodiesel blend be sold in the state. Anyone know for sure ?

Anyhow, I am not *THAT* environmentally concious. The fuel from Qatar from its
GTL plant should be cheaper and cleaner, so we'll see. I think its funny that
my ugly truck is more on the environmental forefront than the vehicles my
politically correct friends drive here in Caliberialnia.
