Fuel additives

I have started filling my 2007 diesel Passat Estate (2.0 140ps) with Total Excellium - currently on my third fill, and have noticed a bit better pickup when 'flooring' the accelerator and it is also a bit quieter when driving (although I do have Michelin Primacy tyres).

Fuel consumption on my 21 mile trip to work averages about 45 mph, which I am happy with. Is it worth also adding a fuel additive to further increase power pickup and to decrease fuel consumption?

Not to Excellium diesel, V-Power diesel or Ultimate diesel. These fuels already have the additive package they need.
