Wynss Supremium Diesel

I've been using this stuff for a while now- very similar to Millers diesel power plus- it has a cetane booster etc... basically turns rubbish supermarket diesel (or normal diesel) into vpower. Does improve MPG and makes your engine a bit quieter.

There's also a petrol equiv available. £1.49 you can't go wrong...

Many thanks Kieran, my dad and I have managed to wipe out the stock held at our local Halfrauds store, reserved ready for collection.

At that price, as you say, well worth a try compared to £14 a go for the Millers :lol:

Wonder why it was originally £5.99, then reduced to £1.99 and now it's just £1.49?
If diesel owners continue not buying it, maybe they'll give it away free with every Halford keyring.

Halford:
Please note, this product was previously on sale at
* £1.99 between 02/07/09 and 21/10/09 inclusive

It is no longer stocked by Halfords (they are dropping many makes/ranges)
also this product has been superseded.

Well it will give you a raised Ron level of 97/87 for an extra 0.3p per litre, which is dam cheaper than super unleaded.

Hence im going to order a supply later on. If one of those does 1 litre to 1ml then im going to have to order 12, that should cover my years fueling of 3000 litres of unleaded a year saving me 3p per litre making that a 72 saving per annum. :lol:

It is a strange ordering system that Halfrauds use, by strange I mean woefully innacurate and not self adjusting. I put my post code in and asked for 5 bottles and my local showed not in stock. I tried again by specifying my local store and it showed 5 in stock.....

After a bit on on line trial and error I established that there were 7 bottles in stock so I ordered them online and printed off my collection and reserve document with a barcode at the top.

Five minutes later the store phoned me and said that there were only 5 bottles in store and 3 had been reserved half an hour earlier (by my dad unbeknown to me

). So we managed to get the 5 bottles reserved between us, but the ordering system is really Pete Tong!!

It might be worth phoning your local stores and getting them to do a physical check.

superb, that's me got 9 bottles sitting in my cupboard now- should last about 100k miles? I agree best to call your local branch, not always that helpful though so if you chose quantity 1 on the search and hit the largest search area (100 miles or something?) you should find at least 1 near you. It's just old stock, I originally purchased a bottle i think at £5.99 about a year ago for another car of my dads and was impressed back then. It might not do as much as millers but as with anything you get what you pay for
