Which fuel should I buy?
I am taking delivery of a new Qashqai 2.0 diesel auto. I always use Shell fuel. Do you think the extra cost of Shell V Power is worth it for my new car? I estimate that I will cover 20,000 miles p.a.

I think BP Ultimate diesel is better than Shell V-Power diesel. But I am currently running a Mazda 5 diesel on Shell Fuelsave and have done 4,000 miles so far, no trouble.
