Sweet Diesel News - MY95 - 03-01-2016
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/news/price-of-diesel-to-drop-below-%c2%a31-at-all-big-four-supermarkets/ar-BBo9Qp7?li=AAaeUIW&ocid=1PRCDEFE
Will be nice to see the litre go below a pound! £4.53 a gallon sounds pretty good too, will take full advantage of that!
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Anton - 03-01-2016
Just paid 99.9p for diesel in Cornwall ☺
RE: Sweet Diesel News - thododd - 03-01-2016
8p/mile!! Glad i got my HDi when i did
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Magenta Sunset - 03-01-2016
arsebicsuits! just tanked up for next week yesterday
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Toms306 - 04-01-2016
Glad I waited now lol, was going to fill up on the 1st lol.
How can oil prices still be dropping though? I thought it was running out? And some foreigners wanted to keep it themselves?
RE: Sweet Diesel News - welshpug - 04-01-2016
there's decades of oil left.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Niall - 04-01-2016
Oil prices are going down because they are currently over stocked on it. As Welshpug says, there's decades worth left
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Stef205 - 04-01-2016
changing subject slightly i want them use most of it so they are force to bring back E85!
RE: Sweet Diesel News - bashbarnard - 04-01-2016
I don't think I've ever seen e85 at pump here. I've known people who have got hold of it. God knows how though. But good news for fuel I guess.....
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Midnightclub - 04-01-2016
It was at the pumps at morrisons for a little bit down here, this was a 'few' years back though
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Stef205 - 04-01-2016
e85 was stopped in 09' sadly.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - cully - 04-01-2016
E85 is still available but not as a pump fuel
you buy it in 20-25ltr drums from oil supplyers as race fuel

What was the reasoning behind it, something emissions related?
RE: Sweet Diesel News - powerandtorque - 04-01-2016
Wasn't financially viable from memory, which makes sense when you think how few cars out there are able to take advantage (and how few of the owners of said cars are aware)

yeah im aware of that already been onto guy at omex to update the firmware for a flex fuel sensor
who cares about mpg when youve around 110 octane, more boost, more ignition, and a higher AKI.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Ruan - 04-01-2016
Because it's also horrifically inefficient to produce... The amount of land required to grow enough for demand is simply staggering...
Or maybe just use a fuel where you're not limited by it detonating...
Can open, worms everywhere.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Stef205 - 04-01-2016
I dont suffer with knock at all but the gains are ridiculous that if it was available youd be silly not to use it.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Toms306 - 04-01-2016
I'm such an idiot... Went out to buy diesel at Sainsburys...ended up on auto-pilot at BP, who haven't dropped the price. Doh...
Tbf, it was only half a tank, so £1.25 different, still annoying.

You'd be able to generate more power if you weren't limited by the knock threshold though, you could invariably run more boost and ign timing and therefore more power... Almost any FI engine won't be running at it's MBT angle.
SI engines will almost always be limited by knock - CI engines you've just got to make them stay together. Tis why Banks engineering have near enough given up with development on turbo/blown V8s etc on the basis they know that every time, they'll run into knock.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Stef205 - 05-01-2016
of course knock is always a issue and it always will be but e85 has a much greater aki over petrol. The gains even before any adjustment is still staggering. Ive seen engines gain upto 50bhp from the change. But with a decent and knowledgeable mapper would know the limits anyway. But in my eyes and my mapper it would be a must if it was readily available.

Won't be cheap for long if Saudi goes to war..
RE: Sweet Diesel News - MY95 - 05-01-2016
Thankfully I just filled up JJ
£51 for £51.15 litres was amazing seeing the litres going up slightly more than the pound for once!
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Ruan - 06-01-2016
I think my point hasn't quite been seen, since there's no barrage of shit flowing in my direction

If they don't go to war there are talks of it getting back down to 70ppl again.
I wouldn't be surprised if they do go to war, if they do it could potentially be back to 130ppl within weeks.
RE: Sweet Diesel News - ozpug - 06-01-2016
They can always start designing modern diesel engines to handle bio diesel when the time comes...
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Toms306 - 06-01-2016
No point bothering with bio diesel... Small petrols are the future until hydrogen becomes viable...
RE: Sweet Diesel News - ozpug - 06-01-2016
There's a guy over here who sells hydrogen kits for cars that are very affordable. Not For running the the whole car but for a more efficient burn. Why no more diesels you think?
For those interested http://hydrogenfuelsystems.com.au/
RE: Sweet Diesel News - Toms306 - 06-01-2016
Diesels will be killed off through emmision regs, you just can't make them as clean as petrols, even with expensive DPFs, EGRs and sophisticated mapping.
Tax will be the same price from 2017 here, MPG is getting close. So basically you're buying a more expensive car, with more frequent and expensive servicing, and more expensive parts if they do go wrong without the tax and MPG benefits!

i'd like to run on it again if I could. 50/70p ltr & sustainable.
but yeah, hydrogen is prob the way it'll go.

I can't see that given that fuel duty alone is around 58p/litre I believe and you've got 20% VAT on top of that as well, which brings it to 69p before you've taken into account the cost of the fuel itself and distribution, retail etc. When you remove that taxation, the current cost of fuel really is very cheap indeed.
