Nope, you want direct injection for cooking oil and it better be filtered and refined first. Also as illegal as running on red diesel, if you're not telling and paying the tax man.

Apparently there was a new record today, its cracked over $110 a barrel i think - joy. I remember people saying the prices when they would actually stop driving cars/vans. In today's money I reckon over ?1.80 a litre I would have to stop, especially as they are all leisure trips as well. I don't think the bike would go until it hit ?3/litre though.
On the upside the government has got the luxury of cutting tax to control prices. Personally I think a serious cut of the oil companies profits should be returned, everyone is blaming the government but the oil companies are really to blame. They make silly, silly money. |

I'm not sure regulating the oil companies would actually help that much.

Not from forecourt sales though, thats why every filling station is a retail outlet, same as every airport - their revenue does not come from their core business. The oil companies do make huge profits from the sale of oil products, but not from sales to motorists.
