ohhh you have indeed opened a can of worm's here xD At least you didn't mention additives or 2 stroke oil. OOPS! I have a 200Tdi and it chews up whatever diesel I put in but usually go for BP because it seems to get a few more mpg out of it (average 33mpg) and add some Rhino Diesel Additive because I always have done and it seems to help. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter

Kevzeboy Member Since: 19 Jul 2014 Location: Cumbria Posts: 81	My TDCI runs sweeter and gives the best mpg on V-Power or BP Ultimate. Not that I put it in that often. It actually isn't a false economy if you try and work it out. Funny enough, my td5 didn't go any better with the dear stuff? If you use super market stuff, you deserve what it will do to you engine!

This always makes me laugh.... Having seen behind the scenes and witnessed the same trucks filling many petrol stations, supermarket and otherwise. The only thing worth considering is any additives but probably more importantly the state of the holding tank (age, amount of crud, how full it was when you took your fuel, rate of turnover etc. The fact that the pump says tesco on it really doesn't mean the slightest thing! Clever thing, the placebo effect! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8.
