We passed through Sheff again today and put V Power in this time, the ordinary Shell diesel didn't last that long but I put that down to racing a V8 RangeRover on our way back home he left me at the start of the dual carrige way but I caught him up and was doing 120+ by the time I got there, I never got that kind of speed out of Tesco diesel.
Every day I notice something else about the way the engine runs or sounds that convinces me Tesco diesel is just SOOOO bad for our trucks.

I`ve used Shell extra for a couple of years and now I`m on the 2nd tank of V power in the Rodeo and won`t be using owt else, (in the Jag or our lasses Fiesta either) well worth the 6p a litre more, good stuff. Very Happy

I presume the combustion enhancer `Veggi-Boost` from Goat Industries has improvers in.
I used it when I was running a Hilux on veg.

Does it work like the octane boost they put in the imprezas, a mates wouldnt run right without and lost loads of bhp without it ?

Tesco's are reported to be the garage running the highest percentage of Bio in their Diesel... I always find the 3.0 runs like a pig on Tesco juice.
