Paul,
Diesel and Veg Oil don't actuall mix in the tank, I find the veg oil is the last thing to burn - indicating it floats on diesel. Redex doesn't help mix the two, but I agree with you, it's quieter, and it's much nicer when you have to work near the exhaust with the engine running ( don't ask ! )
I have experienced a 2 - 3 mpg improvement when I added 6 litres of vegoil to an almost full tank ( and that's taking into account the extra litres when calculating ).
Unfortunately, Plod is getting wise to this, and my regular haunt ( Nottingham ) has 'sniffer vans', so I don't bother with the large ( >1l ) veg oil doses. But I find it useful because when I smell vegoil from the exhaust, I know I've got 10 miles left before I'm stranded !

going back to the supermarket thing, I used to use sainsbury's city diesel and always found my BX19D ran smoother and was slightly more economical, I now use a mixture of Morrisons and Total(from the HGV pump, it fills loads quicker as it does not foam as much!). I don't know if the HGV stuff is different, seems to go OK, economy slightlty less I would say
