Default how many cdt owners use 2 stroke oil

I know this is a subject that has been covered extensively, but what is the prevailing view within the club. I know that my particular experience over the last few tank fill ups using 200ml of 2 stroke has been very positive. I feel the car is quieter, smoother, and definately not smokier. My main concern was the perceived lack off lubricant in modern diesel fuel especially with 2 fuel pumps on my car . Hopefully enough Rover owners have had a similar positive experience, but if not I would be interested in any advice that points to any potential harm I might be doing. By the way I have been using Wilkos low ash oil.

I do! My engine runs very smooth and it seems quieter than without it.

I put 100 ml for half a tank, or 150ml for three quarters, as I understand the amount is 200 ml for an fill up with empty tank.

I use 200ml every time i fill up. It runs quieter and smoother.
I use Tesco's but Waitrose 2 stroke is cheaper. (I think it was waitrose).

I bet your car is running quieter and smoother with those new wheels you had off me.
