all seems very well and good until you read the quote from Argent's website..."When blended with mineral diesel at 5%, as Argent intends, it falls under the normal mineral diesel standard as well as complying with the mineral diesel standard (BS EN 590)."So when you read between the lines you get..."Stick in 5% of stuff from the ground and it is 'officially' just normal diesel and you can charge the same price as normal stuff - or more because people will want to do their bit for the environment..."Surely the whole point is that this stuff (when they are up and running) is piss-cheap to produce and can therefore be flogged off way below the price of normal diesel thus creating more demand for biofuel and less for non-renewables?Surely the point is to flog it at production cost + sensible margin + road fuel duty = nice and cheap?Am I being really stupid here? Are Argent totally "in bed with" the government and the oil companies? Is this just another rip-off for the vaguely environmentally conscious?CAS
