Newsflash! Man starts argument about use of oil as fuel!
We really need to have a think about whether mineral oils are a good idea.
The cracks of doom, Hertfordshire
We have the technology to run cars on chip fat just as well as on diesel - the diesel engine is getting quieter, more economical, giving better performance and lower emissions, even with diesel. If you use vegetable oils in a diesel engine, you'll slash that to a tenth of what are already impressive levels. Unlike petrol, diesel can be used in much larger vehicles such as lorries, trains, ships, you name it. Vegetable oil could be employed in much the same way. And, in fifty years time, when an explosion like yesterday's incident happens at a rapeseed oil depot in Kidderminster, the fumes won't force asthma sufferers to emigrate.
