Well, I am sure there is a way, they could probably turn my computer screen into fuel if they tried hard enough, but is it being done? I had actually bought a kit to run my '76 Mercedes 300D on fryolator grease, but got an offer for double what I paid for the car (before I installed the kit) so naturally I had to sell it. The profit bought me at least a year and half's worth of gasoline for my daily driver. 0-60 thats like asking how much a gallon of gas or diesel costs, changes every day.. in general, b20 is a few cents more than b0 (straight diesel), and not as expensive as b100 (100% bio D) 03T4R- Corn can’t be made into bio-D can it?
