Soybean cooking oil was $28.85/5 gallons US at Sam's Club yesterday. A friend and I were wondering how long before it's cheaper to fill up the diesel at the grocery? That's $5.77 for soy oil, vs $4.10 for diesel at the moment here.

It's already cheaper to fill up at the grocery store in most of Europe. A fuel station is more convenient though. And most cars cannot handle pure vegetable oil.

Sure you can drive a diesel on vegetable oil. You need to put in some white spirit to make it work.

TopGear had a bit on it a year ago:

There were new diesel shortages reported in Uganda and oil producer Yemen today. Unusual diesel demand is still being reported by Chile and England.

These problems have lead the US to continue to export diesel - even while diesel hits record prices almost daily.

If the oil workers strike in Nigeria doesn't end soon, we will be seeing even higher diesel prices.

Diesel popped back up to $4.29/gal over the weekend here. How long until the independent truckers start quitting en masse so that the few holdouts can charge more?

SO how much diesel is the US exporting every month. My truck driving friends would like to know as they don't read peak oil.com..

Front-month heating oil over $3.50, for I believe the first time. Unfortunately, future months (next winter) are already $3.55-$3.56.

Heating oil futures seem to rise ten cents every day. 3.60 has been broken. ( 3.61 record )
