> I'm chiming in to also mention the very real (and growing in popularity in
some parts of the US) option of bio-diesel. Amazing stuff. It is made from
plants that grow in places like Iowa instead of oil from the mid-east, and
the lubrication issues are solved as well. For fear of touching off a
political firestorm, I'll say no more ;-)

Vegetable oil. Any diesel can be easily converted to run on vegetable oil
with the simple addition of a pre-heating canister, though I've heard that
Mercades TD engines have issues with clogging the injectors, and some have
concerns bout the newer electronic direct injectors.
