hmm not finding cheaper in any supermarkets or aldi than 75p a litre :(

trying bookers next, rang them they said 14.99 for 20 litres was their best drum deal

may have to go by the litre tho if that offers still on?

Drums are more expensive than the bottle version but you have to pour the 1 litre bottles into a jerry can or the like :(

75p is still cheaper than £1.09. Well worth it if you can be bothered with the mess.
I would suggest blending with normal derv when the temperature drops though, 50/50 seems to be the recommended ratio

Sainsbury's seem to still be doing Pura at 56p/l. This is the best I have found recently. Annoyingly in 1 litre bottles, though.

20 litres KTC in Makro £15.00 but I was given £1.01 discount on each box/bottle & I only bought 2. Don't know what the discount was for but happy to take it.

Would be cheaper in the big Asda/Tesco at £2.21 for 3l bottles if it wasn't for the discount.

Pura supplies have now been depleated, i was getting a good 60 litres a week which was keeping me going, alot of people started doing bulk orders and within a couple of weeks, its dried up! I think the demanded has overcome the supply and it will take a short amount of time to catch up, i was told it was not a discontinued product at my local sainsburys, only on-hold, so i'm holding out hope! In the mean time i dont mind paying 73ppl for SVO it still saving me £100 a month!

I think thats unlikey they would just 'stop' it, on-hold and discontinued is different, lets wait and why.

I'll have to invest in a Bookers/Costco card, so many people seem to have them.

Tesco had some Pura today, so unlikely its going to disappear from our shelves straight away, and its still 56p a litre.

What mpg are you guys with the XUD engine getting on Veg Oil? I am considering if it's worth selling the HDi and buying a XUD so I can run on veg oil
