As to the question of benefits:
Mostly geopolitical, less dependency on petroleum oil currently influencing a lot of political decisions. Homegrown fuel may give our government a bit more room in the range of options available.
I was under the impressions that it was a cleaner burning fuel, and I am interested in being educated if that is not the case.
As to the corrosion problems:
That seems to be a big problem as outlined in the responses. Though Ford, GM and Chrysler/Daimler do offer flex fuel vehicles, I guess it is not a viable option to retrofit. Brazil BTW, runs over 80% of it's vehicles on ethyl alcohol. (older cars as well as new ones) Lots of sugar cane grown there.
As to veggie oil:
You need diesel engine to run it. My other car is a Vanagon diesel camper and it runs on 100% biodiesel (B100) smells like french fries... but it's soooo slow, I'll use it when I'm on vacation and I want to slow down enough to make it worth while...
