Cost, time, hassle, health & safety?
Duty is 59%(?) on diesel. So on your first 2500litres, that saves you about £1900, assuming you could produce diesel for 53p per litre?
I can buy new veg oil for 62p per litre, 75% VO to 25% diesel = cheap to run mobile chip shop.Duty is 59%(?) on diesel. So on your first 2500litres, that saves you about £1900, assuming you could produce diesel for 53p per litre?

I cannot find a station near me that does not sell diesel; however, it may well be a regional thing as you point out. UR is correct that the SUVs and trucks are by far the main user of diesel. That is changing (a little) as more cars are offering diesel without compromised performance.
I passed through Baton Rouge last week and can assure you there are plenty of stinking diesels on the road. By the way - don't be suckered in by that "without compromised performance" hype. A petrol car will still blow the comparable diesel into the weeds.

Drove past the local Esso this morning and this evening. Diesel was the same price as petrol £1:19.9. The queue this evening was huge.
Filled up tonight in Reading cheapest I could find £1.259 diesel not any super diesel just plain standard stuff. Would like to know where I could get it cheaper

The cheapest place for petrol in Reading in my experience is the Shell garage on Shinfield Road, might be the case for diesel too? I'll try and remember to look when I fill up tomorrow. Would like to know where I could get it cheaper

How many shop around for oil I wonder. A litre of Castrol in ASDA £7.50. In Sainsbury's £14.99
Big difference. Exactly same product.
Don't bother with shops as they don't really do fully synthetic.Big difference. Exactly same product.
I do on ebay, bought £120's worth of oil to service various bikes and keep the car topped up.
if I'd went to halfrauds would have been £200 EASY.

Just saw $2.35 / Gallon at two places on the way to the office. Costco and an independent. Double edged sword for Louisiana as our state's budget is largly funded by petroleum.
Does it seem like the roads get any busier as the price drops?Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
