Er, yes, but the timescale is millions of years - way longer than the entire human period of existence! I don't think many definitions of "renewable" would encompass fossil fuels... :)

Basically you shell out about a grand to have your car converted to run on vegetable oil,
?
Where's the flaw in my logic?!

was a program on earlier this year about a couple running an eco farm in wales - I think it cost him £25 to convet a renault van to run on veggie oil, 2nd hand fuel tank 1 switch and some copper wire to make a fuel heater!
whe you consider veggie oil is between 35p and 75p a litre, then the government want their cut,. you can understand why many people dont go 'legit'.. i have access to about 300 l;itres of used chip shop oil a month - but by the time i have filtered it and cleaned it - then payed the tax.....well..
company quite close to me does it for 72p a litre with duty pre-paid!

The thing about WVO, SVO and Bio-Diesel is many modern cars cant run on it, take the TD5 for example!
