I'm sure it can! I saw on Mythbusters they had a Mercedes that they just added filtered vegetable oil in the gas tank, starting on empty (nothing else) and it got about 30 mpg, whereas regular diesel got around 33 or 35 mpg I think. By the way, there were tons of commercials during that episode about how the oil companies are doing everything they can to make the world free of oil. It was pretty funny.
