Default Most People Will Never Know About Biodiesel

You don't need to buy biodiesel. You can make your own from used french fry
grease.



Only if you're one of very few in your particular area.

Half of the fuel Xan used last year was based on soy, not petro. The
only reason it wasn't 100% is because bio doesn't like cold temps much
and we only use a dozen gallons a year.

We can grow soybeans. Crude is a limited resource, though more plentiful
than the "chicken little"s would have us believe.
