I use it for work as I get paid 40p per mile.
Run it on veg oil as well
- had to get a Bosch injector pump to do that though.
wikipedia quote
"This technology came from the PSA Peugeot-Citroën
/ Renault
/ French government ECO 2000 project.
In 1989 a naturally aspirated diesel AX, using the 1360 cc all aluminium alloy TUD engine, managed a figure of 2.7 L/100 km
(87 mpgU.S.

/ 105 mpgimp), totalling over 1,000 miles
(1,609 km) from Dover to Barcelona.
This was the longest ever distance travelled on 10 imp gal
(45.5 L/12.0 US gal) of fuel and earned it a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most economical production car.
