I use one and run it on diesel, cheaper these days than paraffin, easier

I was going to query diesel cheaper than paraffin but did a quick bit of
maths. Tesco road diesel, today, 100.9p/l = £5.05 for a metric gallon
(5l). A quick google gave £5.67 or £6.49 for 4l... Flippin 'eck, road
diesel has 62 odd p/l of duty and VAT on it that paraffin won't.

Heating oil is around 32p/l ATM.
