Usually it's about the same price as regular diesel, unless you make it yourself, in which case it's about 90 cents a gallon (assuming you can get a few restaurant owners to give you used cooking oil), and you don't consider time and the base cost of the processor.

The cost of biodiesel can vary depending on factors such as feedstock prices, production methods, and government incentives. Generally, biodiesel is competitively priced with petroleum diesel but may be slightly more expensive in some regions. However, the long-term benefits of using biodiesel, such as lower emissions and reduced dependence on fossil fuels, can outweigh the upfront costs.
