    Should get better MPG and it will clean the engine, but not a lot if you only use it once... :o

    Easy enough to do. I double, triple and quadruple check that I'm putting the right fuel in the car - diesel or unleaded. But I sometimes mix up on the grades - super unleaded instead of unleaded or super diesel instead of vanilla diesel.

    At least the fuel is in your own car. I've returned a hire car with a full tank of super unleaded once.

    Relax, if you put 40 liters in it cost you only £2.40 extra and you might make some of that back with better MPG. If you had put petrol it would have cost you a fortune!!

    Could be worse think of all the others who have filled up with Diesel instead of unleaded and vice versa!
