Is there a benefit from alternating V power and FuelSave Diesel whilst saving on fuel costs?

As an alternative to Supermarket Diesel whilst attempting to keep fuels costs down, will I get some benefits from alternating Shell V Power with Shell FuelSave, should I stick with FuelSave as one fuel range?

None at all. I and many other readers find that the economy benefit of V-Power Nitro Plus makes it cheaper per mile than ordinary grade diesel, with the huge added benefits of more torque, more power and a cleaner, smoother engine.
