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 is suspect. It contains no cleansing additives etc. It is also like
following a chip shop it stinks so much. You have to pay tax on the fuel.
Rather you than me.
