If there were spills, though, it might get a little stinky. I read about a man in S Africa who retrofitted his car to run on vegetable oil.

It could even bring starvation to the people in underdevelop countries and the deforestation of the 15% of the rainforests. http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2007/11/06/an-agricultural-crime-against-humanity/ George Monbiot, columnist of The Guardian, argued that Biofuels are not a better alternative from oil, at least not in an enviromental and human point of view.
