We had one guy here who owned a pub and chip van and he did just that. He mixed it with some diesel but no idea of the proportions. Stank a bit but worked ok.
He has now gone respectable with a Peugeot van but still wears a boiler suit even tho’ he is probably the richest man on the island. Ex fisherman with a multitude of business interests.

How many 22 reg new cars have you seen so far? I have only seen one and that was this morning. Are people not buying new cars because of fuel prices or is the shortage delaying demand that much?
I know mine is not coming till May and it was ordered in mid November.

I've read many a story about the fuel prices. Some say that the petrol stations are ripping motorists off by raising the prices, even though brent crude has come down in price. Others say they cannot lower the prices accordingly becasue they have paid for future orders at the inflated price, so lowering them now would mean selling at a loss. I can understand both trains of thought really. All I know is, my Diesel Passat will probably (hopefully) be the last ICE car I ever buy. But I'm hoping to keep it for at least 10 years longer if it lasts that long!
Mine was ordered in January and is coming end October. I think there is an increase in wanting electric vehicles and a huge delay in actually getting them.

There's certainly less traffic here as the price rises have now reached us.
I remember this happening the last time there was an oil price spike, and road deaths dropped because people were driving less, and slower. It's mildly depressing that this is what it takes for people to stop making unnecessary car journeys, but such is life.
