Ive just heard this morning that fuel prices are set to hit the £2 per litre mark by the end if the month due to the problems there having in Lybia.
With this in mind and as im a DERV user, does anyone know the ins and outs regarding the use of used cooking oil as a replacement? Ie legal jargon and whats added to it to make it useable.
Ta muchly!

Government will have to decrease tax on fuel or there will be rioting like ****. Working man is having his bollocks squeezed tighter and tighter, NHS and defence are being cut yet these cnuts that don't want to work are still getting looked after with everything paid for :mad:

I'll give it 2 weeks!
But it wont change a thing if they do, the price will shoot up to 2 quid during it, and after alls said and done itl come back down to £1.50 mark, long gone are the days of 60p a liter and it only cost me £20 to fill up my first 3dr merit!

we were talking about this at work, one of the lads dads, had a jag with a 60ltr twin tanks, cost him a £40 to fill up, back in the day lol
Honestly,ive said it before and i'll say it again,i really hope all of people using stolen/red/green diesel never get caught.
If fuel prices werent so high we wouldnt need to break the law,out of interest whats diesel currently priced at in your area??
Scarborough........£1.36.9...

i remember those days,£20 in my metro brimmed it!lasted couple of weeks too,now im paying that twice a week!how difficult is a diesel swap?can get diesel free!although id get fired!
but most people mix cooking oil with diesel to give the pump etc some lubrication i beleive,i also know,if theres any aircraft technicians out there,that older diesel cars will merrily run on avtur (jet fuel),they just run a little hotter.

i will, ill just walk down there, and just punch him, untill he lower the price of DIESEL ONLY lol
the government wont introduce the fuel stabiliser until the very last minute. Thats a given, i may be wrong but the theory was they would reduce the tax rate to maintian a static price, then when the price dropped below they would add it back + interest to make up for losses, thus still maintaining the price and 'stabilising' it.
Why the hell would they do it to soon, when they can let the price get as high as possible and generate more revenue from the 'peak price' once the price per barrel drops back to a normal rate. The stabiliser could have bad effects rather than good in the long term and we get raped harder than without it. I'd rather pay abit more for 6 months or a year rather than a lot more over the space of ten. Bit of a catch 22

Nothing we can do really, its hard to organise thousands of like-minded people to get together... the trade unions have disappeared and the only people who rally together are students - who usually support the government with the exception of the student fees carry on

By definition a road block is to halt traffic, could we all just go at 1mph and get away with it?
red diesel ftw
Amen to that brother :d

Just to make you all feel better, my fuel hungry runabout costs me £55 A DAY if my lead foot comes into play on the way to work, and work is only 26 miles from home!
Maybe I think its time to turn the boost down! Lol

More fool you IMO lol lol

Try getting paid nearly half that!!!!!
look like ill be biking to work alot more if the fuel goes up to two quid.
thats stupid
this country is close to tipping point imo
keep putting motoring prices up and people will break the law (insurance, fuel, tax etc)
cut the workshy folks benefits and crime will go up (they still need to pay there habits)
cut police wages and we have even more disgruntled bobbies not bothering to catch the above people
we've sold defence planes, sacked soldiers and decomissioned ships yet will probably go into Libya and start another fight we cant lose but cant afford to win

I haven't had a pay rise for 3 yrs now. I should be glad i've got a job really. There were cut backs before xmas.
I sold the Cav 4 or 5 weeks ago, i'm not getting another car.
I now pedal 80 mile a week to and from work, saving roughly £35 a week on petrol. Never mind the insurance premium as well. We are gonna be a 1 car family for the foreseeable future.
Fuel prices will only go up. Once the government know they can stiff you with £1.31 ltr, they will carry on doing so.
As far as i can see the motorist has to bend over and take it, not for me. I have got off that merry go round and i'll make my own way to work etc etc.

the stabiliser when brought in will only take the price back to the ridiculous price it was the week before!! double taxation as well on fuel so the government is raking it in as fuel prices go up.
i bike 6 miles a day (before my hand op) plan to get back into it ASAP.
bought a 100 quid bike of ebay. (second hand) and all is well.

what a load of ****ing crap, he has no idea
he gets his wage, to live on, everything else comes from expences, maybe give them a flate rate of £40k a year and tell them to get everything of like, like 90% of the country :roll:
£2 a litre is a fooking joke :mad:
You'll just have people filling up and driving off

This country could learn a few things from Libya and Egypt. Mass demonstrations untill the publics voice is heard and acted upon. The country is in dire straights and bum ****ing the citizens is only gonna lead to it getting worse much quicker.
Lmfao at people quoting the sun and the BBC as valid points in ANY argument
Lol, i wasn't quoting it as a valid point, i was quoting it as a crock-o-shoite!
Wonder how many classic/modified cars will be staying at home this summer. Oh wait, the government are gonna fine you if you cancel the insurance. FLOL!
em simple point, if you cant affford fuel sell your car,
**** happens
the uk is fooked
i dont care
oh i get 27 mpg and run on V power and still dont care about fuel costs, my next car will be a V8 and minimum of 4.0 litres so fook them, i'll enjoy my short life regardless,
Fuel won't hit £2 a litre this year. £1.50, yes; £2, no. Get off the media hype-driven bandwagon lol
Brent has stabilized around $115 at the moment. Yes the situation in Libya is a bit of a cluster fcuk, but once Russian deals are finalized it won't really affect the oil price too much until the place settles down and then the oil price should drop back down a bit.
What the tories SHOULD do is change how tax is applied to fuel. Apply VAT then apply duty. Paying VAT on duty is completely ridiculous and would drop the pump price about 10p straight out.
Wonder how many classic/modified cars will be staying at home this summer. Oh wait, the government are gonna fine you if you cancel the insurance. FLOL!
Some one could seriously coin it in on the back of this offering part time insurance so to speak, like you can get for motor bikes.
Vehicle is insured for 6 months of the year only.
As for any ludicrous fuel price hike, I have no qaurms about using red diesel so meh, ill keep my 500+ miles to a tank full but pay about £28 instead of £49ish.

LOL I've edited that post about three times, my spelling was shoite for some reason there lol
im trollyed and still spotted lol
Costing me £65 a week to get to work and back now but I have no alternative except a cheaper car but don't want to as it's one of the only pleasures I have!
The 22 mile journey takes an hour in the car or 2 hours on public transport. Would cost me £50 a week on public transport anyway as that's a rip off too!
Like other people have said though I should be grateful to have a job!
Last week I was at about 60% positive about leaving the country.
Floating around the 80% mark this week.
80%? Thought it would be more lol

Pfft, people in this country haven't got the balls to start a riot, we just sit back and get shafted time and time again, unlike the French, the "cheese eating surrender monkeys" have the balls to riot but we don't.
