Waste Vegetable Oil Fuels

There are many new models available in the US, but many of us don’t have the coin to drop on a brand new diesel. Some of us are even cheap skates, or still have reservations about using biodiesel or waste vegetable oil in a new car. Where does that leave us? Looking for a used diesel. All in all there are just not that many diesels out there to buy. Years of diesel hate have left us way behind the rest of the first world in diesel acceptance and market penetration.
