You can make biodiesel for like $00.30 a gallon tops if you get the used oil. You can even make most of the processing equipment yourself. Its a fairly easy process and you only need a couple type of chemicals.

The one thing you guys need to realize about hyrbids is that after so many miles you will need to replace the batteries and sometimes those might cost enough to have just paid for all the gas you just saved lol. Alot of times you will just come out even.
