Greg, WVO has its place. There just isn't enough of it to supply a world with a billion or so vehicles and if there was, our planet would be one hell of a greasy place.
On the scale that WVO exists, if it is used responsibly, it is a better fuel than many other alternatives and it is certainly better than fossil fuels. In general, if I had easy access to the stuff, I'd eagerly sell my Honda Civic and replace it with a diesel such as the VW Lupo, which I'd convert to exploit. No matter how you look at WVO, it exists and adding it to landfill is a shame. Using it to fuel ICEs or for heating homes (using low tech devices like the Babbington Burner) are much better applications.
