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 |

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. |

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 |

My take from that is to continue to use V-Power Diesel. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I thought this was all Hokum to be honest, however I’ve recently changed my mind.

As regular forum users will know I am a supermarket diesel is fine sort of guy (also it's the easiest for me to get as Tesco is just across the road). However recently I put a couple of tanks of V-Power in and the car seemed to run better, as for better fuel consumption I wouldn't know or care. For every tale of how good V-Power is there is always a story that starts with "I know a bloke......" all the first hand experiences on here reassure me that V-Power is not a bad thing so when I am on a longer trip and need to fill up I use it. If cost were an issue I probably wouldn't be running a Range Rover. Geoff |
