just bought quite a few litres of vegie oil from Tesco at 83p (£5 for 6 litres) thats got to be worth it? at a 50/50 mix im sorted for a few miles!!. So would have the sunflower oil been better?

It's a great feeling pouring the veg oil in and then driving around for much less than you would otherwise have been!

You'll get strange looks while pouring it in which is fun.

Enjoy!

i've just filled up with bio diesel @ £0.98plt, running 100% bio at present with no problems.

Been on near enough neat bio/veg oil for 6 months ish

It was ok in the freezing winter too

It's gone up a bit recently

but still ,75p a liter ready done is pretty cheap

Sunflower is one of the best; its widely used in Europe where they've been doing this a lot longer than we have!
