Tesco filling station had the Actevvo with shelf price of £7.50 but actual price was £5.87. Lady on till said that "price of this stuff goes up and down like a yo yo. I don't know why. We can't keep up with price changes"
I wonder what could be driving demand?  Moral of story, don't rely on shelf price. There could be a bargain to be had. That said, I have only managed to get the £4.25 recently, but keep looking and of course asking, 2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.

Well after reading and biting nails about putting oil into the tank i finally took the plunge. 2 days ago put 500ml of carlube 2 stroke bought from tesco in along with a full tank of diesel. Absoulutely crapping it 
Gotta say, what a difference
Didn't tell the wife as its her vehicle (Little experiment to see if she noticed anything different not knowing what had been done)
Today she came in and said "Cars running nice, seen to has more pull" Ha 
Never going back. You lot are tops

Very similar feelings here ^^^....only put 250ml in on Friday,as wanted to err on the side of caution..... 
Went out for a meal last night fully loaded (6 adults) and the car felt fit as a fiddle considering the load on board.
Going to start doing this regularly "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Had all the usual egr / vgt maladies, lack of power, clouds of black smoke. 2 tankfulls of 2T 2 stroke enhanced diesel later and she's running better than new. Responsive and smokeless. Just my kind of repair - cheap and easy. Every fill up gets the 2 stroke treatment now.

Hi subaru60
Jaso-FD is not suitable for vehicles with particle filter. Jaso-FC in either mineral or part-synthetic is ideal for all applications. And the price is also cheaper.
So in modern speak a win-win situation! EX AFRICA SEMPER ALIQUID NOVI
