Diesel maths: there is a petrol station 11km from me that is selling diesel for 15c cheaper than my local - which will be $9 less for a full tank. It will take me about $6 in fuel/depreciation/maintenance to get there. To save $3. Is this worth it? #poll

@SeaFury if your car is particularly old you can probably run it on veg oil, but not much benefit. VO is about $3/L.

@SeaFury By 'old' I mean like 1970s Toyota or Nissan diesel with mechanical fuel injection. Modern common rail diesels with persnickety injectors don't like VO much. But! If you can put up with the mess, you can convert waste fryer oil into biodiesel that will run most modern diesels. It's a bunch of faffing around, tho.
