Oh, they'll care. Nothing about the food suplply though. (unless they decide to throw that spin on it) They'll care that you might be able to get from one place to another without paying a tax.
I could more imagine that if this got "out of hand" (hard to say what exactly that would be), Maybe Vegoil will become more like explosives or hazardous materials, etc. and require a permit for "large quantities" (5 gallons or more). I can see them throwing out a headline like "Permits required for vegetable oil as unscrupulous people are trying to buy untaxed fuel and are threatening our nations food supply!" (Heaven forbid we should run out of cooking grease!) To get a permit you have to be a restaurant owner or otherwise in food services. That way they could try to prevent people from using it as fuel. I could pretty easily see that happening. What I don't find as likely is the obvious consipracy theory perspective that soon they will have computers in our car keeping track of our fuel and will have some tagging or other such thing so that the cops will get some sort of electronic notification when you drive past on "illegal" (untaxed) fuel. Though I suppose it's possible they could integrate something like that on new cars...
