I have a con for diesels. Block heaters. My dog is it expensive to plug my truck in when it gets super cold.

If the starting system is workin properly you dont need the BH unless its ungodly cold

True, i've never once needed the block heater, but I can tell you this, there are days I sure am glad I plugged it in.

. Diesel itself can gel up, veggie oil just does it at a higher temoerature....... A pro is that a diesel can run on many different fuels, where as a gas cannot run on many different forms
