This '180 mpg' depends on using untaxed domestic electricity to
charge the battery and comparing the cost to that of taxed petrol.
However, if you run a diesel on free old chip oil you might get 1000
mpg + using the same flawed comparison.

Knock on the neighbours door and ask them for chip oil because you are
going to work? Wow!

I saw a TV program a month or two back (can't remember what it was)
where this was demonstrated, and the presentor went out in in the car
using chip oil. No mention that it might be illegal, etc.

It's not illegal but you have to pay tax on it. Same as will happen when
mains electricity charged EVs become common.

I have a pal at work that runs his car on waste commercial kitchen oil.
All really you need to do is to leave it to settle then draw the clean
stuff out from the middle. Fat floats on the top, solid waste goes to the
bottom.
