1) Petroleum costs compared to bio-diesel costs.

At some point it may turn out that gasolene will revert to being "cleaning fluid" as it started out.

1. So far, without subsidies, I don't see how it is that much cheaper.
2. Venesuela is where it mostly comes from because we won't drill our own land.
You do realize that diesel is not going to be the answer for everyone. If it wasn't for the fact that the wife has to do long distance travel for the next 2 years, I'd still be with a gas. No glowing, no smelly hands, no worries of gelling or having to use additives, easier starting and much lower cost for diesel option engine among other things. So it all depends on what you view as important.
