Look at the threads in the bio/alternative fuel section.
Long and Short is that you are ok for 2500 litres

No Problem. It isn't illegal to run on straight vegetable oil, and you can use up to 2500 litres per annum without having to pay road fuel duty (or vat for that matter).

Or roughly 549 Gallons, or 13,000 miles (note, conservative guestimates)

--- Quote from: "GREENI" ---I get the point, but what are you lot going do about it (the price)?
I cycle to work a lot, and if I want cheap fuel (not likely) i'll run on regular diesel..
I am never going to be able do anything about it, so it's pointless moaning, it just makes you miserable ...
We ALL get ripped off one way or another, but we also have CHOICE, it's like road tax, I choose to run a 4x4, so I pay the premium...as I'm sure you do to :wink:

Yes, we do all have a CHOICE and actually there is something that you CAN do about the price, such as running on an alternative fuel such as SVO (some vehicles will require modification such as a twin tank system before running on svo) or biodiesel (no modification needed). Price may not be something that concerns you, but it certainly concerns many people who still want to enjoy driving their 4x4's without having to pay the premium.
By filling up (60 litres) with biodiesel at 79ppl instead of £1.09, the chap who told us about the £1.09ppl saved himself £18!!!! :lol:
Enuf said. :wink:
