Got a nearly new vw Passat. 2 Ltd 150 bhp. Had it for about 6 months now. Always had a real flat spot on the throttle . Particularly in 2nd gear when accelerating through to 3rd. Anyway put a tank full of BP Ultimate in by mistake. Lo and behold. After only a couple of miles the flat spot went. Totally. 

Runs like a different car in the mid gears. Thought it may be of interest to some. Shame it costs quite a bit more but we do so very few miles normally so expect I will keep using it.

Skoda Octavia 2l Euro4 TDI took just over 30K miles before I noticed much improvement in solo mileage - towing seemed to stay around the same from the start. from 50K was getting even better- early days low 50s solo, last 3 years hitting 60 regularly - 58 on a fast trip to London, then onto Brussels & return, inc driving in both cities! & over Christmas too - with snowy roads on the return trip. (Also improved things when I fitted Goodyear's Grip Efficient tyres at around 50K - except in the wet!)
