diesels most certainly do get higher mpg, because diesel has a higher btu count / gallon. btu / mile is similar. but gas engines won't run on veggie oil fuels. they wil run on veggie alcohol with a bit of work. Steve Spence Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter & Discussion Boards. Read

Keep your battery warm. Good insulation will help. There are commercial batterywarmers. They take little power from your battery and keep the battery healty. Or make one yourself. Your battery will loose over 50% power when it freezes and account for over 50% of startfailures even on gasolinesyst
