Hi
As Autumn approaches and the gardening season winds down, thoughts turn to Austin Seven maintenance. My workshop is heated by an electric fan heater, and my friendly supplier British Gas has now told me I will be paying 34.2 p for every kilowatt hour.
It occurs to me that if I were to burn a Gallon of E10 costing £7.38, that would yield 41.9 kilowatt hours of heat. That works out at only 17.6 p for every kilowatt hour.
Anyone found the flaw in this scheme (apart from the fire risk).
