Is premium diesel (eg, Shell V-Power) worth it?

[jangles]

Forgive me if this topic has already been discussed in this forum: A search didn't turn up anything relevant.

I was wondering what the benefits are in buying a premium diesel fuel versus the supermarket variety I tend to buy, where price is the primary motivator. I typically buy at Tesco.

A BMW friend reckons Shell V-Power diesel is the best fuel. So I was thinking of filling up on a few tankfuls to see what the benefits actually are and if they match what Shell says (http://is.gd/7fr3BY).

Then I saw the price: around 5p/litre more than regular diesel. In my neighbourhood, that means about £1.46/litre so a full tank will cost me more than £100.

Is it worth it, do you think?

Personally I use supermarket fuel as it's already dear and premium fuel is an extra 8p/l where I live. Obviously someone is buying it if they keep selling it!

Hope this helps
