    Smile Premium Diesel

    Just tried the new Caltex Vortex Premium Desiel in my 2.5lt T5 much smoother acceleration and when cruising accelerating is a lot quicker in 5th or 6th gear. Fuel consumption seems to be the same in city traffic, haven't tried highway, I think 10c per liter extra might be worth it as Caltex say it cleans the injectors. Any other feedback would be good:

    I don't know if the premium diesel is any better then normal diesel, I've tried it a couple of times now in my 2.0 Tdi and really didn't feel that much difference in performance or better fuel consumption.

    How many miles on the Van mate, as I figure it's going to help clean older diesels, thus the performance increase, but with a newer car, well good luck. I have noticed zip with BP ultimate, but it's all most BP's up here sell now.

    I thought Canberra was the "heart" of Australia Greggo, strange you guys are so far behind QLD. Damn shame....
