I am paying 202.7 pence a litre for HVO and it worth every penny extra over derv or premium derv. Smooth running , less smelly and improved mpg. Gulf EvoUltra. Limited availability in Scotland as far as filling stations. But not at Trade / Bunkered suppliers.

What sort of mpg improvement are you seeing?

With HVO being able to reduce the CO₂ by upto 90%, I wonder if by declaring that your vehicle is running 100% on HVO, if you could get the VED reduced to reflect that of a comparable certified reduced CO₂. vehicle?

  • Their efficiency at any speed is more than double that of an internal combustion engined vehicle.   The improvements in aerodynamic efficiency have pretty much all been made in recent decade

EV drivers, newspapers etc, constantly quote the Gridserve 90p per KWh charge price,and as the dominate motorway services are used to "show" how expensive EV charging can be.

But thats only the same as the way petrol or diesel prices are quoted too, with the numbers often reflecting the highest prices per litre in remote rural areas, motorway services, or London which often aren't reflective of what the vast majority of people actually pay.

CO2 production would be very similar.

What might be different is that 90% of the carbon released has come from "renewable" ie organic source. Airline are moving thus way as well as F1 etc.

Still adding to atmospheric carbon dioxide and adding to the global warming that we are seeing the consequences in weather change, fires, crop reductions etc etc.

The solar eclipse power down results are in with Octopus and I have earned an hour of free electricity between 1300 and 1400 ie when our local fusion generator, Sol, is at its peak without the Earth's moon interjecting.

Will try and download around 16 KWh of leckybin that spell.
