When I saw the heading free petrol I thought it was going to be relating to biodiesel.
Just thought I would mention something that is causing me confusion (easily done!). My hubby's friend runs a car and regularly buys ordinary vegetable oil to put in the petrol tank. I seriously thought my hubby was pulling my leg. Apparently our mate says he has been doing this for some time, car works fine and it works out more economical per litre. Is this feasible? Or is it a new urban myth?
My understanding is that it is diesel cars that can use veg oil. The diesel engine was developed to use poor quality fuel in WW1?
Anyway, the increase in biofuel production has increased the price of veg oil to the point where it's not economical if you're buying from the supermarket. There was a chap arrested by Customs leaving A S D A in Swansea with 100 litres for his car and taken to court. Best way to cut fuel costs are to drive less, drive thoughtfully and use more economical cars. Our Astra ECO gets 70 mpg on diesel. fuel for allRudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil. Oil companies approached him, with an unsaleable by product to see if it could be used in his engine. He reworked the design, the oil companies named the new fuel after him.
In 1912, On his way to a meeting with the French military, to show them how his engine could be run on vegetable oil, saving them a fortune on imported refined oil, he mysteriously disappeared off the ferry. He was by this time a multi millionaire, in good health with a bright future ahead of him. You'll draw your own conclusions i'm sure. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If it is broke i'll usually take it home. |
