Then you're lucky.

In Belgium Shell V-power (Diesel) and other premium fuels are sold at premium prices - the official maximum allowed price.

Does it help ?
Not that I've ever noticed.
Certainly not enough to offset the 10% or higher difference in price.

My best FE ever is a draw between regular Esso diesel and Aral premium diesel.

My Spritmonitor fuel log only shows a substantially better overall FE on premium diesel than on regular, because the statistics are skewed by changes in driving habits.

For the last 4 months, it shows 0.25 L/100km better FE , or 47.137 vs 49.623 mpg - the difference looks better in mpg - or a 5% better FE.
I might use those 2.5mpg to push me over my target of 56mpg.
