    I wasn't advertising - I do not work for that company. It is what we use and it works for us and our customers. All we want to do is keep the cars/vans working well and efficiently.

    Hi Jeannie. Don't worry, it wasn't you we're referring to. There was another post that is now deleted that was advertising some unknown fuel additive being sold on ebay.

    I tried premium fuels and the far too expensive additives on past petrol cars with no measurable improvements. Diesel fuel additives more sensibly priced considering the benefit.
    On my BMW 320d 163bhp (diesel) using the Millers Diesel Sport 4 or a premium fuel like BP Ultimate Diesel / Shell V Power I can (and other BMW diesel owners can) measure the 5% to 7% improvement consistently. I know of VAG group TDi owners who get the same results. Some diesel owners don't seem to be able to see a difference (a Saab 9-3 2.0 diesel owner comes to mind), so I'd say buy 1 500ml bottle of the Millers and keep using it in the correct measures (don't do the "double shot" thing it's marketing nonesense) and see what difference you can measure - properly with actual fuel used over distamce, not guessing with x miles until the low fuel warning light comes on.
