Biodiesel is not ethanol. It has a much lower carbon footprint than gas or diesel. It's made from WASTE vegetable oil, so it doesn't "cut back on how much food is produced". Not only that, but it's emissions are really excellent; substantially better than a hybrid. Oh, and biodiesel actually cleans injectors, fule lines, pumps and tanks, and it constantly lubricates the engine, which means less engine problems and a longer motor life. Where are you getting your information from?
As for your hybrid? If you bought a Geo Metro, you could be getting 55 mpg. And you can get one for less than a grand, that way if you have an issue with ride quality, you could use the $32,000 you saved not buying a Prius or Camry and get McPherson struts off a Porsche.
