Using recycled oils from restaurants, etc., might be a reasonable
thing to do. (Especially if you don't mind your vehicle smelling like
a donut shop.)

However, using 'virgin' oil is a much less appealing idea. Nobody
stops to check where the soybeans are coming from. Brazil is now the
number one exporter of soy beans in the world. So, we're trading the
Amazon rain forest for soybean farms. I'm not sure that this is a
reasonable environmental trade off. Ask Willie what he thinks about
that.
