It would be a worth while investment if you know of a few friends or have access to used oil from a fry-o-lator and then can render the waste veggie oil into Bio-diesel and then run around town like that.

Not that I personally do it though. (would if I could) But I know a few people (relatives) that have been running on used oil for a couple of years. And my my can you see the smile on their faces.

^This.

Also, I currently have a diesel that has 256,xxx miles on it and it still hauls @$$.

Diesel longevity has much to do with the diesel being a light-oil lubricant, while petrol is a drying solvent. I know diesel prices are stupidly inflated here in the states (1.69 petrol vs. 2.49 diesel = WTF

), but given the lesser cost of maintenance, engine longevity, and getting 50MPG, I think it comes out ahead, IMHO.
