Default Bio-diesel

An employee of mine told me that he read an article about converting Gas engines to Bio-Diesel.

The E85 is kind of a joke for now, but I feel like my carbon footprint is way too high with this vehicle (I drive about 150 miles a day and already have 7000 miles on an '08).

I am willing to spend some money to convert but dont really know the pros and cons.

Would it ride and sound like an old deisel truck?

Any guesses on what it would cost?
