'Frying Squad' Swoops on Drivers in Fuel Scam
October 09, 2002 07:41 AM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - A Welsh police team dubbed "the Frying Squad" has been
formed to sniff out motorists who fuel their cars with cooking oil from
fish and chip shops in a bid to avoid paying high government fuel taxes.
Three Welsh motorists have already been caught and fined for using waste
oil from restaurants selling Britain's favorite deep-fried dish, the
Times newspaper reported Wednesday. "I have halved my motoring costs
since I started running my Subaru on cooking oil," the paper quoted one
of those stopped as saying. "The car runs just as well and even smells a
lot better than diesel." The drivers were fined 500 pounds ($780) and
warned that persistent offenders may face up to seven years in jail.
