My diesel XE will (allegedly - fingers and legs crossed) be delivered to the dealer on Friday, so my thoughts are turning to the practicalities.
My current car had issues with its EGR and on someone's suggestion, I started using premium fuel (V-power etc). After that, the only time the problem returned was when I put in a tank of supermarket cheapo because I had no choice. The issue was resolved on the next tankful of V-power. This may have all been coincidence, but the premium fuels seem to give better MPG, so don't really cost any more.
In starting out with a new engine, it would be good to treat it well. Initially, I had thought I'd just keep on with the premium stuff but I wonder if there's a down side to this, if an engine is designed to take 'normal' diesel.
Just wondering whether anyone here has an informed view on this.
