You've got the super economy version as well so it could well be a lot worse;-)

I Stick 4-5 litre petrol in with around 30 litre of diesel. I do that once a month or twice a month.
Does same job as redex as the main ingredient in redex is petroleum. Cleans all your fuel lines and is supposed to help reduce emissions n help with more mpg.

Straight Vegetable oil does the same thing (cleans the fuel system) but the first time you run a tank you're best carrying a couple of spare fuel filters with you as it's VERY effective and can cause the filter to become blocked quickly as all the years of rubbish come out of the tank. You can tell when it needs doing as performance drops off quite badly. I was travelling to an off road site with a mate one time in a diesel Discovery that had been running SVO for maybe 30miles beforehand & 5miles out we had to pull over and swap the filter as it was struggling to reach 30mph!
After the new filter was on, full performance was restored and we had a great day (he was really panicking with how quick it lost power, he thought I'd made him wreck his engine lol)
