My motor has been 'tinkered with' by the previous owner.....a lot
I am confident he has wound up the fuel - can it be brought back down easily... I would hope to reach 30 mpg one day
Yes, I've been known to get 35mpg from my 200TDi on veggie.
OK but the question I was really asking is....... Does running veg oil give a noticeable improvement on MPG (without tinkering) - My assumption is 'not' but the thread seems to imply yes it does -does that make sense?
So does it?
Your asking questions, but also you have to listen.
See here, it'll help...just do your research.

Properties of veg oils-cetane number is the one ur interested in,derv is 45 minnimum:Vegetable oil yields, characteristics 2: Journey to Forever
Bio is always higher than derv,and a better lubricant,but contains less energy,so on the whole can expect slightly less mpg.Veg is also a better lubricant than derv,but you need to get a complete burn to deal with the glycerine component,otherwise carbon build up after extended use.
So overall,you should expect slightly less mpg on biofuels,but it does depend on individual circumstances
