And I've also read it doesn't.

They claim it has additives to clean injectors etc, which it might do.

It generally seems to cost about 2c/litre more from stations that sell ordinary as well as premium, which is only about 1%, so if there's any benefit at all, it's probably worth it.

I haven't owned a diesel for about 25 years, so was wondering if anyone had found any benefit from using premium.
