This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

^^^ WRONG!
Get up to date. Last year the government issued a taxation waver on people self producing fuel and you can now make and use I believe 2500 litres of fuel a year without paying a penny in tax on it.

In other words it's a green light from Mr Brown to fill your car full of veg oil.

Just do your research as not all diesel cars will like this!!!!

Useful reading

Yay! You've made me very happy!
Apart from the general insult of shouting "Wrong" at me. Bastard.

Agree about the careful bit. But if your car cost £50 in the first place, why worry? I will be upgrading to a cheap, nasty diesel car in the new year, and fitting it with additional heaters for starting up.

Sorry
Wanted it to be eye catching for the wannabe savers out there who might have given up after reading your post.

Save the planet & money in one go! :-)

Costco
Were doing a box of 20 x 1 litre bottles (NOT 1 x 20 ltr!) which worked out about 80p a bottle. That was 3 months ago though.
