Red or Dead?

Someone good at maths could work out how many times you would need to fill up on average to save the initial £500 fine.

My friend has been on it for years and we share lifts to work, it breaks my heart paying nearly double him for diesel.

Suppose I've dipped my boyo in worse on Tuesday nights but less about the Parlour.

Might give it a rattle. Cue getting dipped next week, will stick to main roads.

What ya mean?

do you drive on straight kero or mix it with clear. If so what is the mix and is it legal

[tyrone girl]

Would ya not try mixing the clear with kero? Very cheap and its clear if ur dipped

[Cde]

but it is clear ?

[tyrone girl]

Clear if its dipped yes.

How much is diesel in around the  Monaghan area these days? I am very tempted to go with the red diesel but it would be my luck to get caught doing it.

How much is red diesel?

I was filling up on Friday evening and noticed a van at the green pump, couldnt believe that green diesel is over 80c a litre. Thankfully I have a company car, but if it was coming out of my own pocket I would be seriously tempted.

Sorry, I've blundered in here by mistake. Don't mind me. Where's the door?

Lads, that's Hardy on the right.

One odd thing is that around the Spring/Summer of 2008 the price of petrol & diesel at the local pumps were the same as they are now, if not a little lower. Then the price of crude oil was $145 a barrel. Six months later the price plummeted to $30. At the moment the price is just under $100 a barrel which is still historically high, but how does that explain high fuel prices at a level when it was $145? The VAT increase in the north would be responsible for a 2p-3p increase but what makes up the rest of it? Surely inflation over such a short period of time isn't responsible for the rest.

I wonder if many diesel drivers have considered using used vegetable oil? It's legal in the UK for up to 2500 litres for your own use per year though I don't know anyone locally who does this. Would LPG be an answer?

Not on a diesel yoke

Pure luck - ya could drive on it for years and never get caught but ya could start on it tommorrow and get dipped on Tuesday. Id say go for it. I cant now cos id say my fine would be 1k if i was caught now. Kero far handier for me

I have to say I think you're great craic with all your little scams. But just one thing, if you were caught with your diesel/kero mix would you not get a £1,000 fine anyway given that you were caught before.
