Wow literally just veg oil from the supermarket ? How much does that save you ?

borderslass · 03/01/2011 11:28

With veg oil it's got to be distilled or it will cause all sorts of damage to your engine, will also freeze in winter.

They are paying just over £1.40 a litre in Stornoway and some of the other Islands.

yes, veg oil is more straightforward than you think.
you need to follow some guidelines, but anyone can do it.
the original disel engines way back when were veg oil anyway.

and Brown removed the duty on veg oil a couple yrs back

has that been overturned?

how much does vegetable oil cost now then?

spilttheteaagain · 03/01/2011 15:58

Well in sainsburys 1L of veg oil was about £1.45 so the diesel is cheaper! I bet you can bulk buy from somewhere though...

CrystalQueen · 03/01/2011 16:09

The bus fares round here just went up from £1.45 to £2!

Not yet is isn't but only about 15p difference .

I just paid £1.29/l for diesel and it's going up again tomorrow.

I met a MNetter who runs her car on recycled vegetable oil - pretty sure she gets it from a hotel kitchen or somewhere. Her DH converted the car.

Its now £131.9 at our local garage.
