Here in Colorado, commercial B100 made from virgin soybean oil retails for $3.05 to $3.25/gallon (3.9 liter/gallon). There's rumors that a new plant using WVO will be selling it for $2.20/gal wholesale. For comparison, Diesel retails for around $2.70/gal right now, and gasoline for about $2.30.

The KOH reacts with CO2 in the air producing K2CO3 + O2 + H20. The K2CO3 is still considered a strong base and may still work for suponification for your purposes, but it is not as reactive as KOH. Also only one of the two K's from the K2CO3 is a strong base so only half of it will act as a
