For richer for pourer

I have a Jaguar XF 2.7D. I have always used Redex Fuel System Cleaner, but wonder if it is really of any use? I only drive about 5,000 miles per year and only use the car for journeys of about 5 to 7 miles about 6 times per month. The rest of the mileage is on long journeys 80 miles or more. I also wonder if the fuel system cleaner could have any detrimental effect on the Diesel Particulate Filter?

If you use a superdiesel like Shell V Power diesel or BP Ultimate diesel, it already contains these additives.

Which premium diesel fuel do you recommend?

I'm a bit confused as to which is currently the best fuel to use in my Volkswagen group 2.0 TDI CR engine. Could you please confirm which is now the best diesel fuel, or is there really no difference?...
