Default Does Anyone Use VPower Diesel?

When the switch to Super Unleaded solved a bunch of issues with our T5 motors at work, I started using it in my own T5. I got noticeably better performance in terms of acceleration, smoothness and also got more miles from a tank of fuel.

I'm wondering, although the XC90 couldn't be classed as a high performance vehicle, the engine still has to work hard as it's such a big vehicle.

Does anyone regularly use "Super" diesel or VPower Diesel? If so, what improvements have you noticed?

Has anyone tried said fuels and not noticed any difference?

I accidentally filled a whole tank with VPower diesel. I reckon it cost about £7-8 more but I got the best economy so far out of that tank. Even if the added cost outweighs the better MPG; it must be better for the engine surely???
