You're right, this is nothing new. When the inventor of the Diesel engine unveiled his engine at the 1900 worlds fair, he did so by running it off of 100% Peanut Oil.

It's not Biofuel, it's Vegetable oil. You can go to Costco buy a barrel of 100% Soybean oil pour in the tank and go. There is no fuel conversion needed. It runs on one tank, not two, like other biofuel cars.

It costs $700 to convert your car, he has also patented a do-it-yourself kit that will soon be available.

Here is the article for those interested.
