There is a Shell station where I can buy V Power Diesel. Some say I can get better fuel economy for 2-3 cents more per litre.
What does TDI Club say?

Most of my fuel for several years came from the Sunoco at Waubeshene or the Husky at 88. I have records for about 80 tanks (roughly 40 of each), and there was no difference in mileage between Gold and regular. I can't say I noticed a difference in performance either.Personally I still wish we had Gold Diesel around.
You should fill your every other tank from there and keep meticulous records.There is a Shell station where I can buy V Power Diesel. Some say I can get better fuel economy for 2-3 cents more per litre.

That's odd, I thought Husky was the only one's who did it like that.About 2 years ago in Hamilton I know that Shell (at least at this particular station) only had one underground tank for diesel and would add an additive called nemo 2061 at the pump for the shell v power diesel. Mixed at a ratio of 4L of additive to 4700L of fuel.
+1 for the ultramar in woodstock(t a truck stop off of sweaburg rd. exit). always a good price. i seem to get better results than the shell in woodstock but the esso on dundas is compareable in price and mileage. is there an ultramar in k-w as well? i've started to steer away from pioneer after some weirdly bad mileage and rough running despite great prices. hope i didn't do too much/any damage.I fuel up at a high use truck stop.
The Shell with VPower in KW seems like it never has any diesel vehicles there.
I find the Ultramar, due to high use and constant fresh fuel, to give me the best mileage.
I didn't notice any improvement using VPower for about 5 tanks.
Where you getting your fuel, Bill?Winter diesel folks is probably making it's way out of the tanks... If you are seeing a big MPG jump, that's most likely the reason..
I think I am going to try a tank of DieselMax this time around.
My BEW's mileage is horrible compared to my ALH.... Last tank was 39mpg (and this was babying it!)
We'll see what the car does now that I've got the PD150 injectors installed.
Peter, last complete fill-up was at the Petro in Coldwater...Where you getting your fuel, Bill?
Should be enough volume at that location as I remember. But I seem to remember an H2O issue too. Food for thought.Peter, last complete fill-up was at the Petro in Coldwater...
