Smart Cars - No Biodiesel allowed

I drive about 20 minutes to work each day and I hate spending the money pushing an extra couple of tons of steel with me. So, in my bid to reduce fuel usage I am considering purchasing one of these 70mpg cute little Smart cars. Apparently these little things can handle a snowy Canadian winter and have a decent saftey record.

One major plus is that they run on diesel, which made me think I could easily run it on biodiesel from my local distributor (Yes there are a few stations here in Toronto). 'Hold on' says the salesman at the dealership. 'using biodiesel will void your warranty'. What?

Despite the fact that biodiesel is cleaner and better for your engine it appears Big Auto is in cahoots with Big Oil. Big surprise. Screw them, if I get one the first tank will be B20.
