It may be the same price or cheaper sometimes in certain areas. But what is the story. It could be made from old stock soy oil from a year ago when oil was cheaper. It could be imported palm oil. It could be made from WVO. I was talking about making bio from virgin soy oil. By the way, soy oil was trading at $4.20 a gallon, haven't called about WVO yet today. My info about the plants come from biodiesel magazines and press releases on the net.
