I was in B&Q the other day and I came across (4litre in small
print ha ha) plastic cans of paraffin.

I suddenly thought aha, one could use that to eke out the diesel?
But when I divided the cost by four is was the same price as
diesel. So, as we all know, the cost of diesel (road fuel) is
mostly tax, they must be making a hell of a profit on this
paraffin. It was in the gardening bit for greenhouse heaters BTW.

Required for garden weed control flame wands as well.

Turnover will be (comparatively) low for that stuff.

I'm looking forward to the time when agricultural diesel is permitted in *on road* vehicles:-)

I'm looking forward to the time when all diesel is banned from *on road* vehicles.

Taint gunna happen, essentially because it does provide the best mpg
and is one of the few fuels thats trivially easy to grow and is very easy
to produce from a wide variety of ag waste rather more easily than
alcohol and is one of the easiest fuels to use in unmodified engines.

Horrible filthy stuff that creates lots of noise pollution as well.

Not with the best diesel engines it doesnt.
