V Power!!!

[DazVR6]

Went to fill up at shell today, and after filling my car the last two times with optimax wanted to fill it for a third time as it was really starting to make a difference.....noticed there was no more optimax what i did find though was V Power, shells replacmant for it. .Filled up £40 worth and went to pay, the guy inside told me it was the new 99 ron fuel and better than the old 98 ron optimax, also that it contained more detergents to clean the engine........wonder what this is gonna do to my mk3 valver?
Anyone else used it yet?

funny you should mention this as I filled up with some V-Power before. I was really confused when I pulled onto the forecort and didnt see the optimax label on the pump.

I hope its good this stuff as I used to swear by optimax.

optimax is called v-power in europe...

think snickers/marathon

[Neaty]

its apparently been developed by ferrari, or so the speil says on the poster. 

and opel fruits/starburst too joe

its got a higher octain rating than the old optimax though...

[topher]

aye its now 99ron rather than 98, and a penny per litre more expensive.. and better detergents, apparently.

[DazVR6]

It was 99p per litre in brum today.....paid £1.05 last week for optimax

i noticed it was a bit cheaper than optimax was recently, maybe they are pricing it down to get you to use it then bump the price back up after we have all been running our cars on it for a month!

i fill up every 2 or 3 days, optimax went down to 98.9, vpower was there 2 days later at 99.9.. had to check the pump 3 times to make sure i wasnt accidentally sticking diesel in

I have to remember to put diesel in now!

Never really liked optimax though. found my car responded better to tesco super
