Yep I use it in the 6T canter. I get 25% more mileage from a tank and better power. I'm deadly serious.

How does it compare to BP Ultimate Diesel, if you have used it?

Ultimate Diesel is out of action in WA, so need a replacement :x

What are you realy asking here???

Are you asking about cetain rateing?
Maybe someone here has info on cetain rateing for each brand

Have you got a bad batch (local issue)

are you asking about effctiveness of advertising?

I think we in australia are down to 2 refinerys so were is the fuel and branding comeing from anyhow.

Woolworths caltex give me 4c litre off so I get my diesel there and have no problems and is always fresh. There policy on filling drums is another matter.(drum nazi's)

Give some more info on what you are asking please

guilty! it was 60lt but it was diesel (very unlikely to explode) and a rural community and I dont want to haul the rear tank full all the time. town is 2hr away so dont pass very often.
Not realy an excuse but mine anyhow
had to push a someone's pajero out into gutter before useing jump leads other day as well.
