There just arent enough cars in britain that are diesel powered to produce
a
shortage of cooking oil if some of them started using cooking oil in their
cars.

I get through about 1 litre of cooking oil per year. But use about 1000
litres of diesel.

Other people would have a smaller ratio, but even so I can see the demand
for cooking oil growing by easily 100 times, if everyone who drives a diesel
(40% of us) used it for fuel.

You don't think that would generate a shortage?

We already have a small percentage of boi-diesel in all our diesel in
the UK (5%)

This is the reason the price went up for cooking oil,supply and
demand.
They pitched the % so the price would rise & stop people from using
the cooking oil.
