Diesel has gone up again yesterday £1.36 per liter !!!

Biodiesel has also gone up in three months from £0.85 to £1.05 per liter.

Effect on the neighbour's 407HDI is not so much consumption, nor power but silence... Yes the engine is much softer possibly due to the combustion of vegetal versus mineral oil...

Consumption is almost the same. He saw a decrease from 48 to 47 miles per gallon on his last trip to Wales end of June. He is a sales rep so drives around 35k to 45k miles a year...
Obviously his cost base has also gone down since he shifted his purchase from mineral to bio-diesel. He saves around 30 Pence per liter.

Price is expected to go up to around £1.50 per liter of diesel by the end of August....
