This particular processing plant extracts biodiesel fuel from soybean oil, canola oil and peanut oil, as well as waste vegetable oil from local restaurant deep-fryers. It costs about 55 cents per gallon to produce a gallon of biodiesel. The owner’s personal biodiesel powered Datsun pickup truck gets 40 miles per gallon. Not bad at all!
