The price woun't be anything as specal they get down in Brummyland, but it will be 5p cheeper than the cheepest sheffield supermarket (they tend to be towards the lower end of the national average so it's probubly worth/economic pulling off the M1 for if your passing; its not far from the Tinsley Viaduct.)
Its 100% biodiesel made from Waste rape seed oil aparently. They check the viscocity of it and its always been with 5% of diesel. - Sounds like it'll be happy in a standard engine.
He already has a few old Landys useing the stuff. Would be nice if they got some surport from Mud Club vehicles I think! A nice idea if a days laneing is more carbon neutral than a rambler driving their BMW to Castleton.

Great news but I doubt I would be inclined to go out of my way (if I was in that neck of the woods), "5p below supermarket price" sounds more like it's 'let's undercut the competition and make loads of money' rather than sell it for a reasonable markup on what it costs to produce, particularly considering it is being produced from waste oil not fresh.
I can buy fresh SVO for 49p per litre + 27p duty = 76p per litre, even mixing SVO 50/50 with regular diesel I can save more per tank than filling with 100% bio at '5p less than supermarket' prices.
I daresay as (hopefully) more places crop up selling 100% Biodiesel the competition will increase and prices will be more reasonable.
S188:
I think thats the sad truth about the price really. Absolutely no compotision means they can charge what they like so long as its less than real diesel.
Would be cheeper to make/mix your own fuel but that is alot of hassel, perticularly if you'd need to modify it to stop it breaking your dizzy pump if running any real % of oil.
I'll ask afew questions when I get round to visiting.
