You're right there. And there are several government agencies that will tell you that WVO/SVO is perfectly legal IF you pay the road taxes.

It comes down to do what you want:
1) Road taxes don't actually go to roads. That was their original intention, but somewhere along the way the government decided to divert those funds to what THEY thought was the most important FIRST, and then secondarily to roads.
2) Some agencies will tell you it's illegal. Others will tell you it's legal. I say, believe the convenient one that tells you what you want to hear.
3) Even if the gov't finally united against SVO/WVO, people would still use it. If confronted by another civilian on the matter the simple answer would be "civil disobedience."

Any way you cut it, SVO/WVO use will be around until the biodiesel companies have bought up every last drop of waste vegetable oil.
