Usually steer clear of supermarket fuel and fill up at my local shell station.

I try to use only V Power of BP Ultimate diesels, largely based on my experience of super unleaded being better on my 4.4 petrol 322 (about 10% better mpg so covering the extra cost and noticeably better performance). I have hardly used ordinary diesel, but when I have (Scottish islands/northwest where no super diesel available) the mpg seemed to be poorer, though stop-start driving on single track roads there may have been a factor too.

My Jaguar used to be noticeably better on BP Ultimate Diesel, whereas on V-Power it didn't seem to be quite so good. I suspect while there is a different calorific value for the Super Diesel, most of the benefits are from the detergents in them keeping the engine cleaner -diesel being a fairly sooty fuel.
