Put in 65 litres of B30 today, costing 99.9 - same as regular diesel 'round these parts.

Re: Biodiesel at Morrisons - anyone tried it?
600 miles before I got scared and topped up. Compare this to my usual 500 from a full tank of Tesco liquid dinosaur. 20% more efficient!
This was mostly commuting but included a motorway run to that London and the 'occasional' race (don't tell the coppers).
Of course this was only one tank, so for the sake of good science I'll be repeating the experiment after payday.

Re: Biodiesel at Morrisons - anyone tried it?
I'm not suprised you got more MPG from the B30 over Tessco's dino, Tessco's fuel is well known to be of lower standard than allmost everywhere else, I stopped using there fuel years ago after working out the fuel consumption and pence per mile compeared to Shell & BP.
BTW Tessco's diesel is 5% bio anyway.
Keep us informed on the next few tank full's.

Re: Biodiesel at Morrisons - anyone tried it?
Fair enough, though I very much doubt my car is still under warranty
Interesting how a lot of drivers seem to be extolling the engine-friendly virtues of bio while car makers warn us off it. I spy corporate arse-coverage
