Sunflower, Vegetable, Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
I'm stuck at work today with nothing to do, so I thought I'd clog up my favourite forum with all the questions I've wanted to ask but never dared to.
I've been testing SVO in my truck and have noticed no change in performance using a 30% Vege 70% Derv mix.
With the cost of Vege Oil and the C&E duty, it works out only about 3p cheaper per litre than straight Diesel. As much as I like the fact that I am reducing my carbon emissions and therefore saving the planet, my real reason for using vege is $£$£$£
Can other oils be used instead of Vegetable? Sunflower is a lot cheaper than Vege. Can I use that?
And here's a thought - does the exhaust smell change with different oils? Vege smells like a chippie, maybe Olive Oil would smell like a Paella or Spaghetti Bolognese?!
Where do you all buy your oil? What do you pay per litre?
