I really do appreciate you trying to talk all these people out of making bio,
it makes the WVO easier to obtain for those of us who want it.
Sounds like motor oil is more your speed anyway, it's way easier, no investment and no chemicals to buy. Keep up the good work.

I don't know of too many people that go to the gas station to get gas or diesel and nothing else in that errand, do you? When I say that, I mean that I might be home after dinner and just have a bug up my butt to go fuel up. So yes, it is on the way home or on the way
Again, your life might be different but I constantly have things to do at home. Something is always broke or needs maintenance or heaven forbid, I decide to go riding my Jetskis, ATVs or go camping. So yes, I do have other things to do. I drive 70 mins to and from work every day and even if I didn't, my time is precious. OTOH, if it were just watching Wheel of Fortune or getting WVO, I suppose WVO would be a good option assuming the weather is cooperative.
I'm not trying to talk anyone out of making bio. I just don't care for the "used car salesman" thing where we extol all the virtues and gloss over all the drawbacks of the product. $0.75 a gallon is if you don't count taxes. That means that in some states, they might come after you or you have to submit reports if you want to be comparing yourself with commercial fuel, be it D2 or B100. OTOH, if you want to be a politician, I suppose you are on to a good start. Either way, I have had enough of slick guys promising the world for $10 a month, haven't you?
Commercial fuel companies are already buying up what they can get their hands on. So, enjoy it while you can but when China Wok gets $0.50 a gal they won't give it to you for free.
No, I don't think so. Fresh motor oil is too expensive and used motor oil has too many contaminants for me to feel good about it. Either case, when it gets cold, motor oil is going to be an issue. No thanx. D2 or whatever is available at the pump is fine for me. The more bio in the fuel, the cheaper it has to be for me since I lose mileage.
