Use of high quality diesel in Volvo V60 D3?
I have just purchased a new Volvo V60 D3 (136bhp) Geartronic and having followed your advice and after two tanks full of BP Ultimate / Shell V-Power am achieving over 50mpg. However, BP and more recently Shell seemed to have culled some of their forecourts. Do any of the other brands of diesel offer the same quality as Ultimate or V-Power so that I have a wider choice?

No. None of the others are quite as good.
