....... i just poured it in the fuel tank and away i go on 10p a gallon!!  ......

Where do you buy it from? The biggest veg oil our Tesco has is 3 litre bottles at about 75 p/litre, & when I looked in Costco the big drums of oil there weren't much cheaper. Still cheaper than over a quid a litre I know, but is the slight difference in cost per (Astra ::)) tank really worth it?

Have you done a "Google search" for Veg Oil Suppliers  8-)

I think that even under the new legislation you are still not allowed to use veg oil off the supermarket shelf....

I just read an article which says when it's bought from a supermarket, they consider duty to be paid, so it's OK to use...

They used to charge 48ppl (I think) of duty on every litre as it was being used as a road fuel hence needed a higher rate of duty paying.

Not anymore though...
