I wouldnt use it with 100% veg, 50/50 would be fine, Millers stuff is very good.

Millers is a respected oil producer who specialised in diesel products way before diesels became as popular as they are now. The diesel additive raises the cetane level (higher octane for diesel) as well as adding extra lubricants. I've used it for years it "Does what it says on the tin".

Quicker starting and greater fuel economy so that it pays for itself as well as offering extra lubrication for the pump/injectors.

You roughly work out how much fuel you are about to put in the tank then pour the required amount into the tank prior to filling.

Isn't that the stuff Aussies put on their sandwiches.

No wonder they talk funny.

Must vary in different areas, i bought 15 x 1 litres bottles i.e a box for 56p a litre but still 12p a litre cheaper than Tesco/Asda.

My nearest lidl doesn't even do bulk vegetable oil

MikeT its not bulk its in 1litre tubs but i just take whole box's of it at the minute while its cheap.
Also earned a 5p/litre off voucher the other week for tescos so took an old KTC oil drum, a jerry can and the Mrs Auris and filled all 3 up. Most expensive fill up ive had for yonks as it came to £70 :shocked:

Try running an XM. You can fit 85 litres in their tanks. It always costs me more than £70 to fill up with Dino fuel.

I'll second that. I was nearly crying by the time the pump stopped. Now use 50/50 SVO/diesel.

Is it worth while putting Millers in Veg? Used to use it occasionally with normal diesel in my previous cars.

If i still had my coupe it would top that as i had to fill the petrol tank it would be about £1.05/litre now for the Vpower stuff i had to use
