Costco today: KC, MO 35 pounds of soybean oil with tax = $13.53 .13 gal/lb (or 7.69 lb/gal) = 4.55 gal @ $2.97/gallon It's still cheaper for me to buy at the pump, but a 1,000 liter tote is a hell of alot cheaper than a 35 lb jug. Will call the distributors next week and split a tote with my

About 5 gallons...if you paid less than $15 for the bucket I would be VERY surprised. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. 1,000 liters of food grade soy bean oil in KC comes to $2.68/gallon. Since I can still fill up for $2.49/gallon, it doesn't make sense yet...if things keep going like this, it soon will. Most

Just pick up the yellow pages of the biggest nearby city (big city) and look up OIL (not in the STUPID! Feist pages, the real yellow pages) - there will be a section of edible/foodgrade VO DISTRIBUTORS. Call all them and ask for a quote on one tote (1,000 liters) of the cheapest oil they have.

There is crude VO (just squished) and refined VO. Sometimes when they switch oils, they wash down the presses, etc and you get unuseable oil that YOU could filter and use, so I am told. I tried this and came up with nothing. Don't bother with ADM/Cargill, unless you can pull your train up.

Food grade soy began to make sense today, especially as emer. backup. Dino @ ~ $3.40; long lines at pump; some stations with no fuel; production and pipeline from TX LA down. 35 lb jug of soy @ $14.17 incl. sales tax at Sam's. 1 gal soy weighs, I think, ~ 7.4 lbs (still trying to confirm) 35 lbs
