Which? magazine and other organizations have run tests on fuel consumption, deposits... and their verdict was that it does not make any difference at all whether you run the cheapest or most expensive diesel other than to your purse.
It is like Friday the 13. - some people believe in superstition and many others do not. |

I'm new up here, but my "old V70" was returning 36-37 mpg. After reading up on 2 stroke (mineral low ash) I thought what the hell..go for it.....and yes it deffo ran smoother, and upped the mpg to 38-40, so win win for the 2 stroke and I've always used supermarket's fuel, never tried the "super diesel". Yet to try it on my new acquisition as I need to get a "feel" of where it's at Won't be long though...................

You will get all the benefits from two stroke apart from the increase in mpg , burt the mk 3 is a lot heavier so scoffs more fuel .
