zu,
before getting into WVO much, you need to find out if you can get it - and at what price. i don't know how it is in Canada, but here in the US most of the good oil sources are spoken for by commodities companies. be prepared to maybe pay up to $1.50 US for a US gallon for raw WVO, maybe more as diesel prices rise.
setting up and running WVO purely for cost savings is not the way to go, in my opinion now having done it. if you enjoy the activity and the sport of it all, different story. but if you value your time at say $10/hr, it will take you a long time to break even.
in a 300D, for the best two tank system i could put together, the payoff period for my project was about 40,000 miles. i just am about there now.
food for thought.
