Wrong information:
"The gasoline alternative is called biodiesel, and it's made from a mixture of diesel and vegetable oil."
Biodiesel is not a gasoline alternative, is it a diesel alternative. Biodiesel will destroy a gasoline engine. Biodiesel is refined from vegetable oil; it is NOT a mixture of diesel and vegetable oil.

http://biodiesel.infopop.cc is a great resource for information regarding Biodiesel and vegetable-oil based alternative fuels.

Off-topic: I run my 1982 Mercedes TurboDiesel on B99 (99% Biodiesel, 1% Diesel) and have had no problems thus far.
