Question

Does anyone know about a new type of diesel fuel that is alot cheaper?

Answer 1

you can use sunflower or rapeseed oil mixed with diesel but will have to work out what % to use also check that your fuel pump & injectors are up to the job I have known 30% oil to 70% diesel to work, to much oil can stall an engine no matter what speed you are doing "thats fun " also these oils leave solids behind when burned and can clog up an engine so rotating mix and neat diesel helps clean out cylinders \ rings & valves. Depending which country you are in it could be breaking there fuel tax laws.

Answer 2

With current economic trend, slump and recession nothing is going to be cheap

Answer 3

what you might have heard about is people converting diesel engines to burn waste cooking oil/lard/grease.Many transit lines are using this for the city buses the exhaust gives of a funky french fry smell and that is a lot cheaper than refined diesel

Answer 4

I understand that diesel is more expensive primarily due to tax, not that it costs more to produce. I believe the idea was that large trucks burn diesel, so the government charges a higher tax that was ment to maintain the roads.

I could be wrong, but I thought it actually required less energy to refine diesel than gasoline. Would be interested in learning more.
