Latest price near me for petrol is £1.194 per litre at Sainsbury's and £1.199 per litre at the nearest Shell garage. If the prices were that close here it would be a no brained, but a 11 to 13p a litre difference is a bit much ... Even when a Sainsbury's and she'll garage are about 300 yards apart!! They are certainly very close at the moment! The Shell garage is a few miles away and not as convenient but worth using at that price! |

Petrol is about 1.50€ localy here in France, just glad i run the rav on E85 ethanol, the price varies between 0.59€ and 0.69€ a litre. Dave |

Hi Yes i fitted a kit that changes the injection timing automatically, at a cost of 120€, it paid for its self in a few tanks full, starting is not brilliant it often takes a couple of goes to start when it is a bit cold, i also mix about 20% 95 during the colder winter months, i have used it for about 18 months and i cannot say that I have noticed any real degredation of fuel consumption and performance is supposed to be slightly better, it also runs slightly cooler so should be lower wear. A win win situation Also unlike a lot of biodiesel it doesn't use palm oil. As far as i am aware it is not available in the UK but anyone who travels a lot to France it is probably worth it. Dave |
