Default Cars running on cooking oil....

I found this clip from Mythbusters where they use a Mercedes with a diesel engine and fuel it with used oil from a commercial fryolator. I dont know how clean burning this is and its mileage is slightly less than diesel, but if this went mainstream it would take a huge amount of demand off of the gasoline, not to mention reduce the amount of cooking oil that is simply tossed away. The potential here is pretty exciting.
