Veg.oil is much more expensive than crude (1 barrell=40gal @ $100 a barrel thats only $2.50 a gallon) try to find veg oil for .625 a quart.Iraq is only 1 of the several countries we get our oil from.
Vegetable oil will only work for diesels specially equipped.Great. Let's feed machines instead of starving people.you can but have u seen what wesson is charging these days?There is no way with current technology that enough vegetable oil could be produced to meet the current demand for diesel fuel. To do so would require a vast amount of increase in crop land to grow the required amount of grain to meet the need.Most oil in the US is imported from Canada followed by Saudi Arabia and Mexico, Iraq is in sixth place as an oil supplier to the US.
