OP - if you catch the bus you'll see the kind of pond life you'll be sharing over an hour of every day with. After that if petrol doubles in price you'll still want to take the car!

Out of interest why are you so keen on the bus? If it's environmental impact why not consider getting an electric car, or getting a diesel and converting it to run on chip fat?

Absolutely rubbish idea regards running it on cooking oil.
You do realise that by law it's illegal to run a car on any substitute without paying the duty on it?
So, that said your inviting and abetting someone avoids duty when the rest of us have to pay it?


Besides, saying you leave morals a side, if the Police discover that the car is running on cooking oil which can often be pretty evident, he'll have the car impounded, out weighing any saving and making a substantial loss.

It's illegal to do, HM Revenue and Customs will be delighted in taking action.


Please don't say it's not illegal, I've seen cars stopped by traffic Police a number of times and the car taken from them, and also stop giving such fat advice out.

Since when, have they droped the 2500ltr exemption?
4.2.1 Exempt producers/users

If you have produced or used less than 2,500 litres of:

• any biofuel, or
• any other fuel substitute or additive

within the last 12 months, and/or expect to produce or use less than 2,500 litres in the next 12 months, you are an exempt producer and do not need to register with us and account for duty. However, there are simple record keeping requirements, which are described in paragraph 4.9.1.
Production includes the manufacture or processing of road fuel, and the setting aside of any product that has not been charged with duty, with the intention of using it as road fuel.
