Is there a better diesel to use?

My 2003 TD6 only does about 2000 miles a year (she's done 107k now from new), so filling her up isnt done that often, so i dont mind putting the best/cleanest diesel into her, is there a preferred diesel to use?

I run injector cleaner through her regularly but was wondering what you'd put in yours if it all cost the same?

Cheers guys

BP Ultimate, if it all cost the same.
It is the only one out of all I have tried (Excellium, V-power,etc) that works. Defiantly noticed a difference whilst towing the tin tent with our old chipped P38.
I use it now and again to give the system a good clean out.
10-15 pence a litre more than standard diesel.

I run my TDV8 on BP Ultimate as well, no issues so far. Thankfully I only spend £30 a month on fuel, so cost isn't a worry.

If you only do 2000 miles why did you not buy the petrol ?

I found that the tesco diesel affects mine in cold weather when you first start it up it doesn't sound like it's firing on all cylinders for the first 30secs then runs fine I changed it to ultimate and it ran perfect on start up and felt a bit nippier (maybe placebo ) L322 2008 vogue
