Millers Ecomax

i ran out of millers a few months back and my mpg has dropped alittle, so i bought some the new braneded stuff today.
The 'Eco Power Turbo Max Torque Diesel Sport Plus 4' or whatever it's called is the one to have.

Also 42mpg on a 10 mile trip isn't awful,
Deisels do take a good bit longer to warm nicely compared to a petrol :s)

Shouldn't do any harm if used properly.
May not make a huge difference.
As stated, I'm not a fan of aftermarket additives. I'd try a premium diesel first if I was that bothered, which i'm not.
Some peeps see a difference, some don't.

I've been using premium diesel and trying to work out which is best. Filled with the Optimax one the other week but didn't do as well as the one Total do. Where do you normally fill?
I tend to stick to the oil majors. I'm not that fussy about where I fill. Generally Esso or BP as its on the way to work!
If you are on a serious economy drive, you can generally get bigger gains by adjusting your driving style rather than buggering about with fuel
From what you have said though, your economy on short hops seems OK. Get it on a good motorway run or flowing country drive and you will see nice numbers on the display as long as you don't go mad with the throttle(?)
I get 52mpg on the display from my 140Bhp Exeo. Best on my 38 mile commute was just over 60mpg. I drove like a proper shandy drinker though.

just going back to the point about noticing the effect of millers or premium.. If your cars highly tuned, then you need to put it in. End of...as damage can be done internally. but the debate is on with std, mid powered diesels. If i put std diesel in mine, the power is noticeably different within a few dozen miles or so of the new untreated tank

Yeah i've got a massive wide choice of Garage's in and around Guildford so just messing around with each one to see what i think is best. (Probably nothing in it like you said) I don't drive it hard all the time but i do like to give it a bit of welly sometimes on the route home depending what mood i'm in lol

I only have an FR TDI 150 completly standard. Would you say it was worth trying millers?

i've just put millers in my 150 cupra tdi, will report results in a week or so when i next have to fill up!
put some in mine before a 500mile run to isle of skye.
didn't notice anything different.
filled up whilst there on random 128.9 stuff with none
filled up with morrison on way back and added a dose at 1/2 full this morning.
not noticed anything on a run this afternoon.
perhaps it is perhaps it isn't, who knows....

Can you explain how a tuned diesel will eat itself on standard EN590 Diesel??
I have never heard of it, but that means it can't happen!

im not saying it will defo happen.. but it all depends on the set up of the car... The culprit of internal damage though is detonation. Which is caused by lean running, which is caused by inbalance of fuel / air mix. Its a long winded thing.. but in short, higher cetane for diesel and higher octane for petrol offers more resistance to detonation.
Thats why i was on about highly tunes cars. In standard set ups, this problem shouldnt occur.

I always thought supermarkets bought from oil majors (BP and ESSO etc)
Also, used ecomax a couple of times, doesnt seem to make a noticeable difference.
