I've got a VW Passat [3.2FSI, which is I think about 250 PSI]
It's expensive as hell though. I get about 290 miles from a tank on bp regular, and that's about 117p per litre.
On tesco fuel, I get about 265-270 miles per tank before the fuel light is on, at 111p per litre iirc. My fuel price memory isn't great though.
Ford used to deny diesel injector warranty claims if the owner coughed to using supermarket diesel. They used to claim the 'poor quality fuel' was what caused the problems rather than their shite fuel delivery systems. Not sure if they still do that...
My mate had a supercharged 4+ltr Jag - got through 4 catalytic convertors in 2yrs by putting no-additive supermarket petrol in it.

Then when you use that tank you can see if the mpg/performance benefits are worth it for your specific car/driving.
What car do you drive/what size engine?
Ive been using sainsburys, Esso, BP, Tesco since I bought the car at the end of February. Only started using V-power this month in July and I use an app to track my running cost and have been getting between 30-32mpg. During which time I've done airport runs to cross country run for business purposes. I do very little town driving.
Definitely worth doing, at least once in a while.
This year I've been making the same 200 mile journey every month in a 2lt diesel, with all the computerised gadgets for measuring and recording consumption and managing efficiency. With this car I'm getting 50 mpg. Supermarket diesel has been between 5% and 10% less efficient than the standard stuff.
