        Since used vegetable oil can be used in place of diesel, I’d guess vegetable oil is more energy dense than gasoline…

          So based on a random articles I found in internet, mass density of vegetable oil is around 900kg/m^3, and gasoline 800kg/m^3, and since we know that E (energy) equals to m (mass) times c^2 (speed of light squared), we can tell that veggie oil indeed is more energy dense than gasoline.
