Default 157mpg
3/4 ton 4wd 7.3 liter Ford Powerstroke on vegetable oil owned by one of the guys here just pulled in at 5500 miles on one tank of diesel and 4 tanks of WVO. The diesel tank holds 35 gallons +/- so it averages out to 157 mpg of paid for fuel.

I will be getting mine in within the month

Nope

But we are looking into getting some lavendar oil and burning a tank to see if it smells like lavendar once burnt.
