Tax rules have changed for veggie oil powered cars, you don't need to tell HM customs until you go over 2500 litres a year which for a 50mpg car which is something like 24k miles (ish)

I have a Focus. Owned it for 3 years now and it's been a great car and taken some heavy abuse. Needs washing as there is now moss growing on it. However it is very reliable and a good spec.
