Back to the Marine diesels as they were mentioned earlier - they all run on red diesel which from what I understand is of a lesser quality than road pump diesel. Even now leisure boats have to pay tax on diesel it is still the red stuff as it comes from the same place the fishing/commercial diesel comes from. Most performance marine diesels are based on truck engines as far as I know. Additives are available for them but they are more aimed at emuslifying any water present in the tanks so it can be burned and killing the fuel bug...

Anyway back to cars, I used the cheapest fuel I can find currently Jet or Sainsburys round here (127.9p) plus millers. I have no idea if the millers makes any difference or not as I have not had the car long and only used one tank with no additive. I read some old threads on here that seemed to suggest it was worth using and works out cheaper than premium...
