Why did I watch Clarkson?
Oct 21, 2002, 09:04
Actually I am very happy to have caught the show whilst channel hopping.

They ran an unmodified diesel car on vegetable oil ... and it worked!!!!!!

Used vege oil seems to be the best (from a restaurant or chippie) and all they did was add 3% (non kerosine) white spirit. The cost of the vege oil works out about 3 pence ... I'll say it again ... three pence a litre !!!!!

Of course the tax man has to get something and you have to cough up a further 23p in tax (in the UK). Still at 26p a litre and (alledgedly) extremely enviromentally friendly (unless of course it's GM oil seed rape etc) this has got to be a fairly promising thing.

One story has it that so many people are doing this in the north of England now that several supermarkets are rationing sales of vegetable oil.

Outstanding!!!
