I'm paying 85 cents a gallon for Used Vegetable Oil. I just stick it in my 1982 300D and go... A 1987 300TD Wagon can carry seven passengers in relative comfort and can also be modified to run on vegetable oil. You know what I’m talking about… the incredible ride and comfort of the estate wagon running at 85 cents a gallon. Think about it...

I don't have to, I have neither the time or interest to mess with that stuff. If it was sold at the pump for about the same as regular diesel I'd use it.
If I was MB wagon shopping I'd buy a nice W210 wagon with a M112 V6. $15k will certainly get you a nice example and mileage would be a wash the a 300TD. Considering said 300TD is an old car add $3k to that price for everything it will need.
Plus you can get AWD, and traction control which is great for winter.
