" It has been reported that a growing number of motorists are using the ordinary frying pan oil in their diesel engines to cut costs.
The legal problem is, that by using 32p-a-litre cooking oil instead of costing around 73p a litre, they are not paying fuel tax. "

They ran a Volvo Diesel on Top Gear using cooking oil. Got an RAC/AA man to oversee it and all was well. They didn't give too much away IIRC to stop the above newstory from occuring too often.

Just goes to show how crap this country can be when it comes to forcing people to taxes.

So much for a free country and a democracy!!
