See....  http://www.bebioenergy.com/straight_vegetable_oil.htm

But do you seriously think you can buy vegetable oil cheaper than
diesel?

As an example... current quote (today's price) for sunflower seed is
$745 a tonne ex farm.  It yields around 40% oil.

Factor in the cost of cru****ng and distribution and it's gonna cost a
****load more per litre than diesel... which is probably why those who
grow the stuff don't bother either.  (The price is also on par with
other oilseeds of similar oil content.)
