What else can we do?
Oil prices increase again and so for other commodities as well I guess.

Buy a diesel and have the conversion so that it can use normal oil mix
 There are a team of guys in the UK that have converted loads of vehicles, including a brand new Mercedes (all diesel) so that they can run on used oil that you can get for free from restaurants in those big barrels. The government was a little miffed but have accepted it and stuck a tiny amount of tax on it... If more people did that, it would scare the bejesus out of the oil companies and trust me, their prices would drop... btw, one of those guys drove to Portugal and back from the uk on that stuff and it works fine..

Diesel engines? Diesel engines exists for a long time now. And the price of diesel is close to that of gasoline. Are you pertaining to hybrid engines? Engines that may run on ethanol or hydrogen and other resource?
Well those engines are great but I don't think that it will be in use or popular for another few years. Well the resources for those are not available like gasoline and diesel. Not all pump stations supply those sort of alternatives.

If you bought a second hand diesel car and bought the conversion kit, you could probably get a mechanic to do it.
You could then just drive around to the local restaurants and collect their used oil. Run it through a converter in your garage and bingo  Problem is that you would have to declare it otherwise your local authorities would not be happy bunnies at all.

One thing that annoys me is that, the value of money decreases, yet prices are still going up... including foods, clothes, gasoline, etc...
Having a diesel engine would be a good thing. But I don't know if majority of cars would run on it.
