A lot of Diesel-cars and trucks can use vegetable oil without any problems. Old-style-Diesel-engines aren't nearly never problematical, TDI's are more difficult. And you should avoid it, when you have (like my Omega) and Diesel-powered extra heating.
In European supermarkets sometimes you see people, who are buying the whole stock of sunflower-oil - to fill it in their cars.
Indeed, in Germany and Holland (I guess elsewhere,too) the oil for cooking is cheaper than Diesel!
With minor changes you can also use used cooking-oil from restaurants, take-aways and McDonalds. I know a guy, who collects old oil from all the guesthouses around. Then he's filtering it and put it in his old Citroen BX Diesel. No problems at all!
My brother-in-law had as a transportation car, when he has built his house, an rough Daihatsu Feroza (not big, but allowed to tow 2.8 ton-trailers). He only used sunflower-oil from the supermarket.
