Have just purchased a 320d for a longer commute to work. In my old petrol car i always used V Power as it improved performance and had claims to lasting longer.

Have noticed theres also a V Power diesel. Is this worth using? Is the price increase worth the saving? Whats peoples opinions on this?

Thanks

I use supreme diesel after a service or before a long run and on the odd occasion. I do see a marginal increase in mpg. On a run to the Lake District I averaged 70mpg. I usually average 67-8 when on normal diesel.

It's diesel with additives to clean the engine like fuel injectors etc...

Not worth using it on a regular basis tho.

I use normal diesel (non supermarket) with some additive every few tanks. I used millers additive and notice no real difference but if it keep my injectors clean and lasting longer than i guess the extra few pence per tank is worth it. The V power stuff though is the more expensive option and gives no real results , if your that worried about fuel quality id say go with eh DIY option so much cheaper.

Premium fuels and additives increase the octane of the fuel. Unless you have a high compression race engine that requires a later flashpoint during the up-stroke then you DO NOT need these fuels or additives. To use it is to be abused by the world of marketing

A few hours infront of google should give the average person a firm understanding of the differences
