cooking oil fuel

Hi all,

Anyone know of any deals for cooking oil at the moment? Tesco did have 5L for £5 but I think that deal has finished now.

Haven't got a Makro near me so would have to be Tesco, Asda or similar.

Cheers.

    What sort of oil? Many types of vegetable oil. Some not suitable for running your car on.

    Some cars dont last long on cooking oil either. So what car do you plan on using it in?

    The price seems to match diesel these days. I remember it being about 37p litre until they showed it on the news. You could run a diesel car on it.

    The last stuff I used was sunflower oil, I think.

    I have an old Peugeot 406 with the 1.9 turbo diesel engine. It has the Bosch fuel system so is fine with veg oil.
  • Morrisons had been doing a similar deal to Tesco's recently, I've seen it in pound shops by the litre as well.
  • But it for £1+ a litre, Eat lot of chips and deep fried food.

    Then recycle it for the car. Better value for money.

  • Thats nearly the cheapest way to do it.
