Since returning to reg derv, all the above are still true, so the conclusion for me is it does shift the muck and restore the spray pattern, and I'd recommend it one tank in six to keep things sweet.

I've just read this thread again, and it certainly makes interesting reading. I've not run V-power in my Suberb, but I ran it in our Golf GTI mk2 and that very quickly paid for itself with the improved MPG regardless of the driveability.

Suffice to say however, with those conclusions from someone who drives for a living are such that I won't bother with the Superb - surely the odd tank of fuel cleaner, or one in six as Superbia suggests makes more financial sense...

The cost of the VP over Regular is about £3.60 per tank so a fluch once a yr would make financial sense, but I was told not to use tank additives when I 1st got the car, but then again this car is laden with only use don't use stories isn't it.
