The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
there has been various threads and chats about bio-fuel for diesel, but i'm still a bit dubious
would consider LPG conversion but don't know if you can with a diesel
only matter of time before they tax that and it's the same price anyway!!!

Yes you can, devonmikeyboy has it done i think, but like nath says its not worth it now.
is that the same "devonmikeyboy" that slightly re-arranged an Ibiza cupra, and now has a quick-as-f**k audi A3????
is that really running LPG, at 300 or so bhp?????????
i'm amazed (that's more than impressed
)Stu
so lpg does work in diesel??
is that better than bio-fuel (50-50 mix of diesel/ vegetable oil)

Well, sort of, you don't replace your diesel with LPG as LPG's octain rating is high enough it shouldn't compression ignite, you replace most of your fuel with LPG and use a smaller ammount of diesel to ignite the mix in place of a spark. Propane is normaly used in high performanc TDis as an aditional fuel.
sure loads use this site but still worth reminding pepole

I was in Strelley Nottingham today & saw derv for £1.28.9 in a Texico, petrol was only £1.11 ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
Bilking is the future, can anybody make me some fake plates up ?

It's almost making me think about how i drive - i still have fun but on the days i'm really not bothered, i just sit in the slow lane doing 60 in 6th - seen 50+mpg the last few runs i've done even on backroad driving. If Gordon Brown isn't careful, the UK will turn into one rolling roadblock as people start driving economically everywhere

The old diesel drivers gonna take a spanking by the looks of it.
Can someone explain how diesel is going up so much. Is it excess demand by the shift of drivers moving to diesel and they are struggling to refine it all?? Just wondered how much of it may be that and how much is straight profiteering.
Pretty sure it's demand driven - I have a feeling that boats will have to use diesel, rather than the low grade sludge they use now - so the supply of diesel will go nuts.
It won't be long until a low capacity petrol engine cost less per mile to drive than a derv

We could all buy 1.0l ultra economical cars now - it would just be no fun. If they're going to start pricing diesel based on demand from all areas of use then the price will skyrocket
I'm betting on £1.50 a litre before the summer is over, maybe even higher. It will need to hiy £2.00 a litre before i'm forced to consider other transport alternatives. Biking the 9 miles to work and back is only an option in the summer.
Either that or get a scooter - having seen how they get treated by drivers around here, the only way you'll get me on one is if the rest of Milton Keynes is on one!
The price difference between petrol and diesel has started to piss me off really as the benefits of running a diesel car are decreasing rapidly. If i get the job i applied for which is about 1 mile down the road from me i am seriously thinking about going back to petrol tuning as there is a very nice Evo FQ400 for sale not far from me that with a few thousand spent could soon be making 500bhp.
