For sauteing vegetables, we use extra virgin olive oil in our house; sometimes, depending on the recipe, we use a 50/50 mixture of EVOO and butter. I wouldn't use olive oil for deep frying unless it's the highly refined and more neutral tasting "pure" olive oil (Costco sells two-packs of three liter bottles really cheap ~$24).
