Yeah I know Russ, the new Vw "Exxon Valdez" consumes fuel and oil at an outrageous amount, big difference to running my old master.....which by the way my son has collared... :D

With my Ford Ranger I used to get Veg oil from macro at about £10 for 40lt and mix it with a 3/4 tank of diesel.
No loss in power a bit smokier especially on heavy acceleration, change the filters more often. Only thing was the smell, definitely different.
Know people that have used the the oil directly from a chippy and just filtered that before putting it in their vans, then it is just like following a mobile fish and chip shop.
