It's true that the increase in MPG does not justify the cost - just do the sums, its 7-8p per litre more to buy V-Power (~6%) and I've got 38.5 average over 50k miles and would break even if I got 41 on V-Power. I put in the odd tankful though in order to keep the engine and fuel system cleaner; these additives really do work (I've seen the results at engine test companies).

cold damp air is thicker meaning more oxygen to the engine, my other diesel cars always seemed to have more power on rainy days. engines now have air mass sensors which should compensate for different atmospheric conditions At work
