It costs more to produce commercially than petrochemical derv.... by 
about 20%. But in UK prices, it means about 5p/litre more. Considering 
more than 50p is tax at the moment, and the whole argument for tax is 
that it discourages use and therefore is good for the environment (which 
is bollocks by even the most basic economic argument). Burning 
Bio-diesel still pollutes the cities but on a global scale does 
absolutely nothing because the emissions are the result of plants that 
absorbed those emissions the year before, so no imbalance in CO2.
