Go Green!

Step 15 Use Biodiesel

If your automobile uses or can use biodiesel, use it, it is made of 85%ethanol that is natural and a renewable resource. Most places i have been have no biodiesel plants, if that is the case, make your own, though it takes time. There is a good instructable here ,a little much i think, but this is the way now.

OK, you are "going green", but did any of you consider the amount of energy consumed by making this at home??? Anyway, burning plants in your car engine does not seem green to me at all...

 I think it can really only be green if it's made on a large scale and can be used on a large scale.  Otherwise I think it probably isn't the best way to go about it... I think, I'm no expert.

What would probably be even better would be finding a way to make your diesel run off of old cooking oil and what not (after filtering), fairly inexpensive to do if I remember right.  Plus most places have to pay to get rid of that old cooking oil, so they'd probably have no problem letting you snag a few gallons.  I know it's pretty easy to do with older diesels, but would probably take some work to get a newer diesel to work.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
