    You could check out pipeline.org they are in talks with a petrol supplier to get a fuel card system going. You could buy 102ron petrol from bp @ £2.42 a litre Laughing

    You could check out bio fuel options at http://www.biofuelsystems.com and many others unfortunately you can only do this if you run on diesel.

    Crying or Very sad not only is it cheaper (from 20p 60p letter) its better for your engine and for environment Very Happy 1 bad point you end up smelling like a mobile kebab shop Embarassed

    Hi Carsparesfinder,


    I agree, I had an old Escort non turbo diesel and ran it on sunflower oil at 32p/litre. I then started using old chip shop oil that had been filtered at 10p/litre. Smelt of chips, I kid you not my wife used to moan like hell at the smell. Only down side was it was slow to start in the winter.

    Hi There



    I see you had a look at the web site www.xtrampg4u.co.uk

    You need to order some product and give it a try as it does work I have 22 yrs in the Automotice trade as a Technican and acredited with A Bosch Service award in 2001.



    I have been carrying out tests with the product on petrol and diesel engines and are seeing some great results from 10% PLUS



    So go on and buy it I guarentee you will not regret it and it will be one of the best products you buy this year!

    Cutting fuel costs in the UK is becoming impossible especially if you like your performance cars, the government are planning to increase fuel prices more and more i recon in 5 years you will be paying £3 a liter if your lucky. All this so they can make an fat profit. GET READY TO PAY FOR USING THE ROAD PER MILE.

    Also has anyone seen fifth gear where they ran an onl Mercedes with 200,000 miles on chip fat. You have to pay tax per each litre you use but how do the government know how much goes in
