Does buying the more expensive fuel actually make a difference?

BP have their 'Ultimate' diesel, Shell have their 'V-Power' stuff and I'm sure Esso will soon have an equivalent if they don't already.

Does this stuff actually make any difference to the normal cheaper fuels or is it just marketing hype? If I run a few tanks of V-Power derv through the Feekmobile am I really likely to get an increased MPG of the same or greater percentage than the extra cost?

Or is it all a load of marketing bollocks just intended to get more money over the counter?
