Well that's the narrowest difference my local BP has had between normal and posh diesel fuel, only an extra 10p for the good stuff.
A bargain at 199.9ppl.

this mornings update:
Oldham Costco - 165.9p (144.9 unleaded)
Droylsden BP - 187.9p (157.9p)
Openshaw Morrisons 178.9 (146.9)
BP really are robdogs aren't they! I pass an ASDA on my way home from Brum, but its so nasty! My local BP is M&S equipped, my girls love their overly expensive nourishment!
I feel they spread the profiteering around to different users on different days.
Clearly a standard diesel users time to get clobbered today.
Ah well, a change is as good as a holiday as they say
At least I was filling the bike, not the van.
Not with diesel, I hope....
I will always remember the time my 'good' lady filled my old Chrysler CRD with petrol. Thank goodness I was with GreenFlag and Fuel Doctor was part of my membership! Im safe now, her commuter is a diesel, petrol is a thing of her past! Oh how we laughed... not.... she earns more than me, I can't complain....
A few years ago, mine did the same same with her then 10 month old (but 3 weeks old to her) Honda Civic.and it was a big bill to sort it out. She was very upset by it and I didn’t want to rub it in so I just went down to the shed at the end of the garden, bit down on a piece of wood and screamed.
Currently, yes. I’ve got two VWs with the 2.0tdi engine, both coming up for 12 years old and neither have had any engine related issues. No DPF problems or carbon deposits causing issues anywhere. The Golf always has the stop/start enabled - which according to everyone all of a sudden (one video on TikTok is all it takes these days) means it should have exploded by now, but it’s going strong (still on the original battery too).Is anyone still buying v power ? Too rich for me
Yes they’re serviced but only at 10k miles.
I read about the problems some people have with DPFs, EGRs, turbos etc. and I’m either lucky or using fuel with extra cleansers and lubricants and cetane boosters is helping… Or people on standard fuel have never had any issues with their vehicles either and I’m paying extra for nothing. No real way of knowing but in my head the additives in premium fuel must do something.
I might swap to one of these self administered additives.
Premium was originally 6-7
pence per litre more when it first came out out, then hovered around 9-12ppl more (I saw 20ppl difference last week although the price of standard fuel has risen again to narrow that gap back down to 12p today at the local station). The separate additive, to turn regular diesel into premium (mentioned in post #939) would add just 3ppl. Quite a saving if it is the same stuff the fuel companies add.
I must admit to being a keen purchaser of potential snake oil and only put BP's equivalent of V Power in the tank. Never had engine issues either.Is anyone still buying v power ? Too rich for me
I always put my left bike boot on first too, I daren't mix it up, bad things could happen!
I am and actually filled my Q5 up with Texaco luxury juice this morning - £75 worth at £2 per litre. I'm not too bothered by it really as it only does about 5000 miles a year. If the price keeps going up, I might decide to downgrade to the cheaper stuff and stick in the odd bottle of Redex instead but it will have to go up quite a bit before that.Is anyone still buying v power ? Too rich for me
The van is sitting on the drive with a full tank (again luxury juice) but hasn't been driven since the crisis started. It usually does about 6000 miles pa but that's on euro road trips and I'm not sure they will be happening this year until things improve - not necessarily because of the expense but the fact that we don't really want to be 1500 miles (or whatever) from home to find that there are fuel shortages.
Thanks a bunch, you bald orange c**t.

Pretty much my thoughts with regards to going to Austria in June. Yes cost is a factor, but more concerned about fuel supplies.
