[Healeys] UK fuel costs.

[Peter Hunt]

Road Diesel here in Scotland has now reached the equivilent of US$ 9.30/US
gallon and 95 Octane unleaded petrol US$ 8.50/US gallon. Europe tends to be
cheaper than the UK , 73% of the price is UK government tax.

It is a lot cheaper, though illegal, to run your diesel vehicle on
agricultural tractor fuel - US$ 4.05/US gallon or, if you have the means and
time, on re-cycled corn/cooking oil - US$ 1.85/US gallon.

My BT7 still maintains an average of 22 miles per UK gallon, irrespective of
the cost of fuel.
