What's the problem? VO weighs approx 7.64 lb/gal. So some of that gallon of biodiesel is methoxide. Seems like a good thing compared to svo.
Most bio is made of wvo, so why would demand for it make the cost of new vo rise? I would think the use of corn to make ethanol would effect the cost of oil much more.
BTW, if you want to pick up some free WVO, this is the weekend to do it! Just put an ad on Craigslist for free pick up of everyone's fried turkey oil. It's usually pretty darn clean too!!
