As quoted on another thread, I pay the equivalent of nearly $5.95 USD per USGal for Regular Unleaded, every three to four months, but normally run on AutoGas/LPG, which is a Butane/Propane mixture, at approximately $2.82 USD per USGal.
Did you know you can run a TD5 on a charged mixture of LPG/Diesel at approximately 70%/30%, and get a power increase of around 20%?
It's what gets fitted to some Land Rover Diesels over here.
did you know that you could run pretty much any diesel on corn oil?
yep, but don't do it!
Don't do what? The LPG on diesel, I know someone who is running this set up on his Rally prepared Disco, and goes well...
The Corn oil, or diesel made from Oil Seed Rape, yes, worth doing and it will be coming online int he UK very soon. Several new processing plants are been built at the moment, and the government here is going to tax the fuel a lot lighter, making it approximately half the cost of mineral diesel. It is a greener fuel, (does not produce the large particulates, and produces the same CO2 as what the plants removed from the air in the first place) it gives slightly better miles per gallon. Land Rovers are also well suited to running the fuel, and no problems are been reported so far from people using it in the UK. (some have been using it for a few years now...)
