Shell VPower

[bark]

Whats so good about this kind of petrol?

Went to fill up today, when the lady at the garage told me this VPower stuff is the same price?

[Barry123]

if its the same price then bag some.

wont do jack though on a saxo

[bark]

Lol guess it's got an additive in it or something?

[Viper]

E-numbers!!!! :panic: :panic: :panic:

[frankie]

made a difference in my dads 406 coupe.......mmmm cakey.

[leeroybrown]

Normally crappy petrol is 95 ron

V-power is 99 ron, much better tbh

BP Ulitmate do 102 ron, but still no petrol station in the North east sell it, only 10 or 12 garages across the whole country sell it

[Scattle]

Yup higher octane. Tesco do 99 Ron.

You need to be running big power for it to make much of a difference, didnt topgear or something do a test with it & even scooby turbos only made marginal improvement with it high in their rev range.

If its same price go for it, otherwise just fill up with the normal stuff & pocket the change.

Yup, down here Shell V power is £1.04 a litre:panic:

[leeroybrown]

Doesnt bother me still run it on 99 ron Renault recommend 98,

[craig180]

I use whatever's cheap at the moment. Can't justify spending over £1 for a litre of petol.

I thought BP Ultimate was only 97 RON Lee? Or do they do an ultimate ultimate???

[scottyd]

i use that petrol and apparently it can clean ya engine and give out cleaner emmisions

[leeroybrown]

Ulitmate is 97 ron but in some selec garages they do 102 and its like £2 plus a litre

BP Ultimate 102 (http://www.bp.com/genericsection.do?categoryId=6621&contentId=7017179) sounds like a local radio station!

[Tupps]

Higher octane fuel on a 1.1 will make no difference!

[Tupps]

Gazza....you need a high powered car to notice the difference

Putting Vpower in your motor is like putting performance diesel in a forklift truck

[David]

I can't afford this shizzle...
Shell normal powaa ftw.

My mate tell's me gets a better MPG out of it though... True?

was on offer again, i was away and missed it 94.9p a ltr :n:

[SaxoJamie]

Ordinary 95 ron unleaded is good enough for my sax. Haven't got the money to throw away on 102 ron petrol lol

[Wayne]

i use this some times and the bp one to.

[Barry123]

there is two types of bp ultimate.

the standard 'ultimate'

then there is the 102 RON which is stupidly priced and pointless most most vehicles unless you've got it remapped.

[b0t13]

playing the redlight game is the best, free and u never know when ull run out :)

im sure loads of people on here play it ;)

[Martinsaxo]

I only run my bike on the ultimate stuff, just use ordinary 95 for the saxo :y:

Martin.

[ToRn]

I find V-Power makes a difference in my VTS it runs smoother and it seems to burn more efficiently even when i give it a bit of a pasting.

[JoeFurio]

mine is run on v-power, if i put normal petrol in it goes down much, much faster, must be untill it gets used to it again..

vpower ftw.

i actually had a dream about that the other night. wierd.

[kenny]

diesel ftw for me at the min :(

good mpg which is a plus atm

[vtsnutter]

i use v power my saxo doesnt like tesco fuel etc it idles and runs like a bag of poo!and i find i get better miles to the gallon with vpower!
my bp down the road does 102 but its 2.52 a litre! you have to put in a code on the pump to fill up with it!haha!

[lesz42]

Optimax worked better in my fiesta 1.25 then in my saxo vtr....
