I really want to use V-Power all time but the MPG difference seems to massive between 95ron.

I`m finding that i`m getting better miles per gallon with V Power....... normal petrol I mainly got around 26 to 32 mpg pottering about, over the last few days my average is 34 mpg with the V power.....drives really smooth now, pity its going in the summer.......Told my daughter if she passes her test 1st time she can have it.

I also found v-power made a noticalbe difference in performance, didnt have much increase in mpg but pulled slightly better through the rev range, only problem is the nearest shell garage in 15 miles from me :(

So dont fill up with it that often.

its just in your head, i don't think it really do any wonders  :lipsrsealed:

i've tried tesco 99, bp ultimate, v-power, ron95 and i dont feel any difference, so stick to tesco 95 and after every 3-4 tanks of it, i go for 99 to clean engine cause its high-octane

Think it varies from engine to engine mate, a know a few people who have definatly noticed a difference and others who havnt. In theory it should give a very slight increase in engine runnning due the higher octane rating. But i think some engines like it and some dont  :sad:
