As Im sure a few of you guys & gals are aware I'll be off to a new life in the sun and boy do I miss it mega, being a big time biker riding a Kwak ZZR1100 demands my attention all the time and I miss riding cos its too blooming wet and dangerous, but thats not the main issue of leaving....

There's a few things I hope a few of you can assist me with:
1) Am I taking a chance mixing veg oil with the diesel, say 50/50 and if it is ok to use where can I but it in bulk as in 25 liter containers, I think I'll be covering roughly 2000+ miles so you can imagine the savings I'll make if its ok to use, also which type of oil should I buy, sunflower or rap seed oil

2) Towing a 22ft caravan weighing in at 1300kgs with a 90ps medium wheel base and roof, rear wheel drive loaded with bike and big tool box along with a few other items and then some more in caravan what consumption figures should I get, so far its been really good and seeing that I will be towing I wont be going fast. What other tips can you give me with regards to improve my fuel consumption figures

Anything else you can pass on would be appreciated.

I also sometime back mentined I'll have a lot of space to take things down and someone came forward, well I went and cleaned out my blooming inbox now didnt I. dah... so there you have it, I still have space and my final destination is the Costa del Sol region, and its fair to add there will be a charge for taking goods down but at the same time Im also sure its going to be a lot cheaper than couriers, let me know so we can arrange.

Till later..

Cheers
