Olive oil has a unique taste that can't be matched by any other oil. If this is a case of not having any on hand then you could use corn, canola, or vegetable oil if you are mixing a dressing. If you are planning to use oil and vinegar, or oil alone, then there really isn't a substitute. If you want to substitute it because of health concerns, then bear in mind that 100% pure virgin olive oil is probably the healthiest choice.
Yes, you can generally replace olive oil with vegetable oil in most recipes without significantly altering the outcome.

Olive oil is vegetable oil, only better for you. Extra virgin has a lovely olive flavor which you might not appreciate in your biscuits, so extra light (oil NOT from the first pressing of the olives) might be a good idea. I use it and like it
No. Olive oil has a distinct flavor. If you need to substitute butter you should use margerine or shortening
Not really. They have different properties and cook differently. You can sometimes use olive oil to saute something in place of butter, but if the recipe calls for butter, use butter. Sometimes you can substitute vegetable oil or canola oil, but not olive oil.
Olive oil! Are u kidding me!?
Olive oil is the healthier of the two. Olive oil is one of the healthiest oils, period.
In substituting olive oil for vegetable oil you would use the same amounts, but bear in mind olive oil can have a stronger taste than vegetable oil. It may be wise to replace some of the oil with butter or applesauce to avoid a strong olive taste.
Yes you can. In fact several Italian cakes call for olive oil. If you substitue olive oil for vegetable oil in a recipe that doesn't call for it, you will probably notice a change in flavor and you may or may not like it.
The main difference between olive oil and virgin olive oil is the way they are processed. Virgin olive oil is made from the first pressing of the olives, while regular olive oil is a blend of virgin and refined olive oils. Virgin olive oil is considered to have a higher quality and better flavor compared to regular olive oil.
