fish and chip oil(canola) is a good start, car exhaust smalls funny though.
EDIT: just incase someone is stoopid enough, there is another additive that you need, I just cant remember what it was. DO NOT USE STRAIGHT CANOLA OIL

"At the moment you have the answer to fuel consumption by looking at diesel, but governments then charge extra taxes on it so they make that option really unavailable to the public because they chose to put a levy on the fuel." - Tom Walkinshaw (HSV)
Problem with diesel cars is the price.
Diesel Astra = 30K +ORC... You can get a 1.8L CD for 22K+ORC. You will NEVER recoup the difference in price.
Even VWs charge a 2000-2500 premium for the Golf Diesels. Do the sums and you have to drive alot of KMS to get your money back.
Go Diesel!!
Diesel is the same price as petrol and gets a hell of alot more kays out of a tank, youll definetely recover the premium you pay for a new diesel!! Take an X5 3.0l diesel vs. X5 3.0l petrol as an example! 170kW/300nM petrol vs. 150kW/480nM diesel! Combined fuel cons. 12.7l/100km petrol (never seen it that low though) vs. 8.6l/100km diesel! Price difference (no options) $82400 petrol $84200 diesel! Ive seen diesel X5s get 1400km off 1 tank whereas petrol will be lucky to do 600km, id go for a diesel anyday!!
