I filled up a petrol station near Banbury and put the super duper diesel in by mistake, I only realised when I go the receipt!
So set off expecting miracles, and didn't notice any diff at all.... ... |

I use biodiesel from a supplier in Glasgow, car drives fine.
It is a little slower/less responsive, but that's not exactly a hardship as the car wasn't made to be a circuit racer. My friend Stef on here, has ran his 01Y 75 on biodiesel from the same supplier for years. He's never had any issues.

Supermarket diesel
I used to work in the oil industry 20 odd years ago when the supermarkets first started making big inroads into the forecourt end of petrol retailing. Whilst the supermarkets more often than not drawed fuel from the same stocks as the major oil companies the big difference was that when the tankers were loaded at the refinery or oil storage depot no additives were added to the fuel to keep costs down. The additives include detergents to keep the fuel system clean. I have never and will never put supermarket fuel in either my petrol or diesel engined cars. Most people who have taken my advice have reported an increase in the MPG figure to the extent the extra cost of the fuel per litre is justified. Also as someone had already said I would only use fuel from a pump from a recognised supplier. I have seen engines ruined by the use of laundered red diesel, that is red diesel that has had the red dye and colourless marker removed from fuel not for road use (which pays a lower duty) by organised crime gangs.

For the 42p per litre saving, I'd be willing to lose a little power..
