No chance, the alcohol content is way too low..It won't be long before petrol costs more than beer. We'll all be filling our cars up with Stella!

Anyone else notice that supermarkets put the price of veg oil up as the price of diesel rises?
I ran my Discovery on it briefly without any obvious harm, it wasn't keen on cold starting though and I won't be doing it again. Just wish there was a biodiesel supplier in town - the nearest here all seem to be so far out of the way that any price saving is wiped out by the extra fuel used to find them!

The way petrol prices are going it is going to be a seriously expensive trip . I'm half expecting the ferry company to add a fuel surcharge tbh.

Maybe we should put up a new topic with all the details?

The way Aldi were going it would have been. With diesel now pushing £1.33 at Tesco (and £1.39 at the rip-off merchants who own two Texaco garages locally) the veg oil might be cheaper again!

Thanks Gwyn
But when you think about it diesel is still cheaper, there is only 8% tax on food products right and more than half of the petrol/diesel price is Tax.....
Misschien moeten we het kwartje van Cock terug vragen

You can use sun flower oil but you need to warm the oil up with an heater to make it easier to run and i believe you need different filter if you want to do it right.Diesel here is about €1.39/l.

All this talk of cooking oil is making me hungry!
I'm going to have a coffee and decide what I want for the evening meal.
I've just been told by the over-shoulder-reader we're ordering a curry.
If you could bottle the after effects that would be good for running cars on!!!
