I Filled My Car at £0.35 per litre!!!
Yes it is true, I actually filled up my Diesel car for 35 pence per litre!! When you consider that the average price is now £1.22 a litre, that is a massive saving.
It all came about the other day when I was sat in the pub. As I was sat there chatting to others, a man came into the pub delivering cooking oil to the kitchen. He came back from the kitchen with a drum of old cooking oil, it was at this point that I asked him what does he do with the waste oil??
So he told me………….. he then uttered the words Bio Diesel, this was when I really started to listen. It also turns out that his operation was only 2 miles from my home.
Anyway it turns out that he did two types of Bio Diesel. The first is just pure oil and second has a couple of additives for newer Diesel engines and winter running.
So I would suggest that you see if you can track down a supplier of Bio Diesel in your area and start saving a small fortune!!!
Just make sure you check with a mechanic that your car can handle bio diesel!

As an alternative, you could make it yourself for less than 60p a GALLON!
All you need is a reasonable supply of used vegetable oil, patience to filter it completely, an additive (like Miller’s Diesel Treatment), and COURAGE!
I get a regular supply of used vegetable oil via Freegle.
Oh, and HMRC allow you to make and use 25,000 litres of bio diesel for your own use every year.

OOOPS!
That should be 2,500 litres a year!
Sorry!
