driver behind the wheel going to fast.
I drove a gas tanker when I took my CDL.........I enjoyed it , I like driving it relaxes me in a way , I don't think about anything else when I am behind the wheel of a big rig. I get in a zone and turn the radio wayyyyyy down and just drive and I go slower than most.
The tanker's reminded me of a BIG Ship at sea .
If money gets any tighter with my job I may have to go down and apply local and haul fuel on short runs or in town.
I will be dressed like the "Terminator" when driving in this area, Big sunglasses, big smile and just drive, with that get the
out of my way. 
look on my face , I think I'll get a skeleton and put it on my grill.

They make ethanol out of corn. Flex fuel cars can burn that. Regular cars get horrible MPGs on ethanol. My wife's car gets 100 miles less per tank on ethanol than it gets on regular gas.

That's because ethanol (depending on the mixture) requires roughly 30% more fuel to reach stoich.

biodiesel is made from any kind of vegetable oil, new or used... that is chemically processed to be compatible with diesel engines.... it comes out a lot less toxic then petro-diesel and is a solvent... if you have old-style rubber fittings and seals in your engine, it will eat through them...
-
did you know on a non flexfuel car the fuel map has to be set up richer to run this, and it will hurt eary style o2 sensors.
-
The best kind of oil if I recall correctly (which I may not be doing) is used because the water that may have been trapped in there is gone due to the cooking, and really biodiesel is simple to make
