What's the best diesel fuel?

With all the trouble that is being reported with diesel waxing up this year - what diesel do you recommend?

I'm still on Shell V-Power Nitro + and have not had any trouble. Whether you have trouble will depend on the anti-waxing in the fuel, the fineness of the fuel filter and whether or not the fuel filter is heated, which would melt the emulsion back to liquid.

Premium diesel is about 70p more per gallon and one of the additives used to formulate it is detergent. Would it be a good idea to add washing up liquid to standard diesel?
