Biodiesel has become an alternate fuel source for many drivers who have found that it has saves them money in the long run versus conventional gas.

"Biodiesel makes a better quality fuel compared to diesel and petrol because biodiesel is a non-toxic, biodegradable form of fuel, which is made from biological components, rather than diesel. It is generally made from animal fats or vegetable fats. (Vegetable oil, cooking oil)."

Drivers save by making their own biodiesel at home.
