Running-in a new car - what fuel should I use?

Assuming that BP Ultimate or Shell V-Power diesel is not readily available (I am going abroad), do you recommend the use of Millers Diesel Power Plus during the running-in period of a new Honda DTech 2.2 engine? Then after running-in is completed?

Anything that improves the lubricity of the fuel should be good for the injection pump and the engine. Depends where you are going. V-Power widely available worldwide. You can even get it in Thailand.
