Hiya
I have a mondeo TDCI and after looking through another forum on this engine decided to try BP ultimate diesel to see if it would
A - cut down the knocking sound a little from the engine
B - give me better fuel economy
C - possibly a bit more power as well
Well on going to pick up my better half at Stansted i had 548 miles left in my tank, when i got there i had 564 :shock:
Ok i know driving on main roads and not in town all the time makes a difference but did not expect to have more than when i left lol.
Also the engine does knock less now after finishing the first tank i have again filled it up with ultimate to see how much difference it makes around town as well.
As for more power can't say there is a difference that i notice.
Juts wondered if anyone else has either tried a better diesel or like me has ended up being able to go more miles than when you started out.
I would say its a good 80 odd miles and i don't drive that slowly. I am now showing about 53 MPG driving around town with no sign of it dropping down which is a little better than before. They say that the extra money you pay at the pump you get back by getting more MPG.
