Since it is only approximately 10% more, and a diesel returns 30% better fuel efficiency, it is still cheaper to burn diesel.
It is a lot less work to buy an older diesel Mercedes, but your fuel mileage will not be very good, they are heavy and less aerodynamic. But there is no "conversion" to biodiesel, you just pour it in the tank and drive.
An old Rabbit or Jetta diesel would be an amazing find. You can get 50-60mpg with only mild hypermiling techniques.
