Default Best place to buy cheap Vegetable oil?

For the users of pre-prepared Bio-diesel , what is the cheapest you have found new veg oil and in what quantitys is it sold? I currently use Tescos own "pura" veg oil, at 59p per litre, but it only comes in 1 litre bottles so is a bit of a pain to refuel quickly ... I'm in the midlands if anyone knows anywhere that sells 25 litre drums cheap, as Makro etc is all about 78p a litre

Just mix it with a bit of normal diesel in the tank Seems to be faster as well

Nope bought 40 last night, perfectly legal, you are allowed to use 2500 litres a year before you are taxed on it

Ive heard of people getting the old oil from fish and chip shops then filtering it to remove the old bits of batter etc before poring it into their car, allegedly this is free because you're helping out the shop by disposing of their waste.
