Gasoline/Ethanol (gasahol) is not the same thing as Biodiesel fuel.
Biodiesel is vegetable oil (corn, soy, jojoba or whatever). Basically the
same stuff McDonalds uses to cook fries. In fact, some folks are hitting
fast food joints, picking up the old fryer oil and running their cars for
free (more or less). It takes a diesel engine to run oil; you can't do it
in a gasoline/flex fuel vehicle. Oil = high compression detonation (no
spark plugs). Different technologies.
