B5 Diesel


JAS21

Recommended Posts

I know that there was some discussion on this forum about using B5 diesel in 2008 ... was just wondering about an update.

I have now used three tankfulls of fuel in my new V-Cross. The first two were Shell V-Power and the last one B5 again I think from Shell.

Looking at the indicated km/l over journeys it does seem that the B5 gives a slight increased in km/l or maybe the engine is just freeing up a bit! What experience do others have please?

When B5 was readily available we used it exclusively in our 2007 Ranger, I saw little if any difference in performance or consumption. It is of course cheaper smile.png

B5 only was cheaper because it was subsidised,similar to gasohol,when the subsidising was canceled it wasn't attractive to sell anymore.

I also used it when it was readily available,however I noticed a higher engine noise than when using diesel.
