V-Power Diesel

I'm on my 3rd tank in a row now and noticing a definate improvemnt in low rpm power pickup. Previously the only changes were the lack of diesel clatter and sickly exhaust smell in the mornings. No MPG gains or increased DPF regen intervals which was the reason I tried it. Not sure if the drivability improvements after 2 tanks are the result of the cleaning addatives or the ECU adapting to the improved combustion efficiency ( likley both) but I'm not going back to ordinary diesel. Some say that ordinary diesel + addatives are just as good but it's a lot of faff when filling up. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I only ever use V-Power or BP Ultimate diesel in mine. Always have - make sure you have the apps and the points you get through the use makes up for the slight increase in cost as you always collect points etc and convert to coupons. 2007 Range Rover Vogue 3.6 TDV8

2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I use Esso now
Every third tank i use supreme
For the benefit of extra detergent

I notice zero difference in performance
I do notice £10- £15 pounds a tank per refill

You can easily add redex etc…to each tank full if you want

I am a big fan of V Power and use it almost exclusively however I am getting increasingly annoyed at the price difference as it feels like we are being ripped off. Currently my local Shell garage has diesel at £1.43 whereas V Power is £1.69. I do feel that V Power has some actual benefits and is worth more, but 26p per litre, or around £20 on a full tank just seems excessive. So I am looking at additives and just fill up at Tesco for £1.39 per litre.

I have just been looking at this as an option:

Reputable brand and I like the ‘single shot’ can rather than messy measuring/dosing. It works out about half the price of V Power.

If V-Power also has a GTL ( Gas to liquid ) synthetic fuel addative as well as a cetane booster it's not the same as just normal fuel + addative. I personaly don't mind £20 extra per tank for the power delivery refinements I'm getting which definatly took 3 tanks on a row to see the difference so not convinced alternate fills with ordinay diesel are worth it either. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

6 yrs on Tesco diesel and it runs just as good as it ever did. Oh and as I fill up every fortnight I've saved well over 2000 quid (surely not that much, my maths may not be correct) - not that it matters Very Happy. Geoff
