Shell V-Power Petrol?
Answers:
Either Top Gear or 5th Gear did an article on this on one of the tv shows.
They got a bog standard Clio, a mid-sized Gti and a tuned-to-the-nuts Scooby Impreza, put supermarket petrol into each and rolling roaded them to get power / torque curves.
Then they did the same with Shell's Optimax petrol to see what the difference was.
Clio - no difference at all with either petrol type
Gti - small increase in power, 5lbft torque increase (not a lot)
Scooby - 5bhp and 15lbft or thereabouts
All they proved was in order to make use of the more expensive petrol you needed a car that was specifically designed to burn it!
i think its all just a gimmick, Like chevron has this thing called techron and proves that you will get more gas mileage etc. Serious, its just a name to try and sucker people out of their money.
You're not NoT PoOdLe. How dare you! Give him back his avatar at once!!
I guess it depends on whether your car feels more responsive and whether you can get it at a good price. Personally, I don't really notice the difference between Tesco's 99Ron and V-Power.
Have a look on www.petrolprices.com to see what the best price in your area is.
