Expect 10% biodiesel at a pump near you soon.  This will solve two problems simultaneously.  It will extend our fuel supply and help dispose of cooking oil which is considered an environmental hazard.  Bio fuels are a good idea as long as they do not compete with food supply.  Well, except for E10 and E15 [bang]

ALL of the Bio-D around me and what I have heard of is produced from virgin soya.  I haven't heard of any reclaimed WVO being used for pump bio-D.  Have you read differently?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Good catch, counselor!  I should have said could help, or even hope will.  I could quote a source who told me his company does, at least to some extent.  Since he is a marketing person I won't.  In the US virgin soy is the predominant source.  It appears to be a supply issue.  Hopefully this will change.
