A car running on unleaded will still pollute, it just does not pump out lead as well as all the other nasties. I tried pure bio-diesel but it kept blocking my filters so now I am running B20 and yes it does smoke less and it is better for the injection pump because they are phasing in the new low-sulphur diesel which can affect some injection pumps. Over here the price of B20 is the same as standard diesel, about AU$1.25/litre(I just shut my eyes and hand over the plastic).
