The advantage to running a car on cooking oil is that it doesn't divert the product from its original use--it supplements it...whereas ethanol does not.
Bingo.

Like everything else, there are people on either end of the spectrum who think it the best or worst thing since Goerge Bush/Al Gore invented/caused global warming.

But if you ignore the wingnuts on either side, you'll see that the truth is in the grey area in between.

Even the food vs fuel debate is kinda skewed. Biodiesel incentives would undoubtedly bring imported palm & canola oil from dunious places like hacked out rainforests. But in my province, farmers struggle to make a living and their lands are underutilized. Growing canola for biodiesel could allow them to stay in business to grow food.

Short answer: it depends.
