More chip oil vicar?

Yesterday I filled the tank with a heady mix of chip oil and diesel. About 22 litres of each, in fact. I had a moment of panic when I first moved off, as the engine was a bit dopey for a while but it soon picked up and I have had no worries since. Currently, we are running a 60% diesel to 40% oil mix and janis seems to like it. I shall probably take it down to 70 - 30 from now on just to be certain during the cold season but, equally, I will probably take it up to 50 - 50 or better in the summer. I have a long run to do just before Christmas, so I may up the oil whilst she is running hot and take a chance to save a few quid.
