You guys are lucky. In the UK, diesel (and gas) is roughly 6.50 at todays exhchange rate. 90% of that is TAX.

Veg. oil here I come.

You sound like my dad, he lives in Cruden Bay, and every time I call I tell him how he wont believe how expensive petrol is getting in Florida, over a quid a gallon Thats always good for a 20 minute rant about the English bastards stealing Scotlands oil. I feel your pain over the cost of living in Scotland and can tell you that unfortunately I think the smartest thing a Scot can do that wants a better future is leave. I left Fraserburgh 23 years ago and never looked back. But it is a bugger finding good mince and tatties in Florida
