Thinking lpg may be the way forwards at 52p/litre

It'll save you money until you crash on the way there carrying a 200kg liquid load.

If it was half the price perhaps, but you're gambling on nothing else going wrong. Then you also have the issue that you may find it more difficult to get people to work on the car after it has run on bio.

Myself, my girlfriends dad or one of my best mates who is a mechanic self employed do ALL of the work on my car.

I can use my uncles van to bring the container home.

How I see it at the moment is price isnt getting any better, my local station to work is charging 124.9ppl for normal diesel. Plus its more eco friendly.

You can make bio diesel that'll run in your car for about 50p a litre - if you have a refinery thing.

I quite agree, just make sure you can actually realise the saving.

I find it a joke that the public actually accepts the tax we get and don't start a revolution.
