Mike, So, it doesn't really make a difference which veggy oil one uses. The net result will be, basically, the same. Pretty much. Some are perhaps slightly better than others. Is there a direct correlation (linear) between energy content and performance? Yup. It's the energy content,

The difference in calorific value of biodiesel of 10% is a theoretical one - the biodiesel contains around 11% oxygen in the molecular content. However, this oxygen causes the fuel to react quicker and better than petrodiesel, with the result that the energy produced is relatively greater. This
