yes you can - however as the weather is chilly I would recomend 50/50 mix with regular diesel or 20% mix with petrol:crazy_driver:

I use 60litres + 12 litres of petrol and a splash of regular diesel to fill the Rangie when I've not made Bio - this will see me through a week, as I cover 40 miles each way to work and back 5 days a week.
It's sluggish in the cold weather though

I'd of thought a 50/50 mix would run fine even in the cold, but if you do feel anything add in some petrol (max 20% start around 10%) and all will be fine

Do remember to get some spare fuel filters as veg oil is a great cleaner

Thinking of Bio - although Veg oil can break down some filters glue much quicker, but I've not had this problem

once you're running on this stuff regally you shouldn't need to increase the service intervals
you'll know if you need to change it - sluggish when on motorways or high revs
you will notice your engine runs much quieter though :car:
