I feel VERY smug filling the XC90, as I back it up to the garage, turn on my fuel transfer pump, pop in the nozzle and fill until she is brimmed... Esp @ £0.07 per Litre

Yup, 100% Bio Diesel, not Bio Fuel - I use a process called transesterfication to produce RME (Rape Methyl Ester) as added to normal Derv @ 5% and Morrisons B30 @ 30% - XC90 loves it.... As does my van

thought that worked out about 15p a litre?
and also invalidates your home insurance?

Nope, accurately costed @ £0.07 per L incl electricity and chemicals - And how would it invalidate my home insurance? They don't have a prob with it.

...and presumably 7p is the cost of production but does not include Mr Darling's cut?
