Using waste vegetable oil is an excellent way to go. I've a friend that does it (makes his own biodiesel from scratch) for ~ $0.52 a gallon. But all that takes time so even though you’ll save money at the pump you have to ask how much is your time worth. I’m not knocking saving the environment or loosening our reliance on foreign oil, I’m all for it but many of you are right on; ‘easy’ is relative. Making your biodiesel efficiently is the trick. BTW, that same friend powers his entire house by an ultra low rpm diesel engine (running the biodiesel he makes) and he’s never paid a single cent to the power company! He’s any engine/eco freak. =)
