Biofuel

With prices going up at 1.43 per litre am considering biofuel....whats your view (apart from smelling like a chip shop?!)

If I could go that way, then I would, downside is the more frequent oil changes. Part from that power-stations have been doing it for quite some time.

Believe so, I know alot of the petrol mob in the states use E85 and there was a thread floating about converting a 1.8T to use E85 diy style. Same consequences as diesels in more frequent filter and oil changes.

Mind you I wish I bought a bora over a golf ah well always a temptation in getting a bora TDI, how you getting on with your derv tech?

It costs me the same now with the TDI as it did with 1.8T as i just cover more miles.. i do about 400+ miles a week lol so diesel for me isnt cheaper

You need to do a lot of miles to see a saving with a diesel.

yer very true// the saving so far is pretty minimal.. also if this goes wrong i have no idea how to fix it.. if my 1.8t went wrong parts were so readily available..  might get another 1.8t
