    inflation at 2% , yes and there are only 21,000 poles in the uk . gov figures
    Diesel....

    Before I went to London was £1.04.99 per litre.........

    Three and a half weeks later it jumped to £1.13.99....



    It ain't worth driving to work anymore, it costs me 12 quid a day just to get to the office.....

    I think I am going to "do" my back in and scrounge for a few years...... I will have to PM Keith for any hints and suggestions.....

    price of diesel

    £12 a day to go to work, just on diesel, well did you know it is legal to use upto 1500 lts per annum of biofuel (used cooking oil) without paying any tax. Please google Dr.Diesel, ok no knowledge how to clean the oil, use fresh still cheaper than diesel, some cars run fine on straight cooking oil such as my citreon 2.1 others not. I n the summer most diesel motors will easily run on q 10:1 ratio saving a considerable amount of wonga, in the winter you may need a stronger diesel to veg oil combi say 3 lts diesel to 10 lts veg oil.
    I have been using this for the last 21/2 years was really happy they made it legal to use 1500 lts a year, check it out there is loads of info on the net.

    If my car's engine was of an older type or a Perkins, I would have done it a couple of years ago.
    Unfortunately it is one of those all singing all dancing supa-dupa turbo thinghies... Too posh for cooking oil.... It will clog its arteries like cholesterol....

    Wouldn't mind trying the new extra clean fuel tho....
