Is all diesel gas created equal?
I'm having the same debate with myself at the moment (!). I've used Shell V-Power (high performance) diesel and while that results in a quieter engine and, in my perception, better throttle response, I get better MPG from the regular diesel.
I always believe you get what you pay for but as i'm using a premium brand fuel and paying slightly less, i'm struggling with the facts.
Finally, in the UK we really do have cheap fuel and premium fuel although i'm led to believe that it's the additive package added that makes the difference compared to supermarket/budget fuels that have a poor package or none at all. My retired parents always filled up with supermarket fuels but since having to make a distress purchase of BP due to running low, they always fill at BP.
