In U.S. not a lot of gas station carries biodiesel and the price of biodiesel is too expensive, because we are getting supply from different country which is a little expensive for us, so to lower the price, making it affordable and not relying on other countries we should start making biodiesel in U.S.

About 5 years ago the price for biodiesel was $5 per gallon, but now after 5 years it went down only $1.50. That happened only because more gas station started carrying biodiesel and the ratio of people using biodiesel in TDI cars (for ex. Golf, Beetle, Jetta, Passat, & Touareg) increased.
