I always use shell diesel extra and millers diesel sport 4 in my hdi. Find both work a treat.
What do you use and why?
Any benefits?
Whats the best?

I alway used used Shell or esso, the HDI seemed to like the Shell fuels, V-power seem to give it bit more go after a few tanks, but probably wasn't worth the extra...

Cant see the point in paying the price of Vpower. So I always use Millers Diesel sport 4 which returns better MPG more performance, a quiter engine and smoother power delivery.

I've heard rumours that Shell diesel is better quality so I fill up there, I have a Shell card and get money off fuel every couple of months. I haven't tried any super diesel or Millers yet.

In almost 3 years I've used them all really and the only time I've noticed any "improvement" was with the V Power and that was only slight and as belly said not really worth it?
My engine appears to be a good'un and seems happy to chew on any old sh*t I put in there, so that's what I do.
This months favourite = Sainsbury 'taste the difference' Diesel followed by Tesco's

Wouldn't dream of putting Sainsbury or Tesco fuel in mine......
Asda's much nearer
Regarding additives, I've seen the price of Eolys & that's its lot

Shell everytime for me. Wouldn't mind trying VPower Diesel but despite the massive VPower signs above the pumps at my local Shell they don't sell it, not even VPower unleaded
So asking the spotty faced goon behind the counter weather they are getting it, the answer i got was
dunno. Cheers
