Shell V-Power Nitro+ Petrol

[hansligg]

Anyone used this and is this designed for ''V'' engines?

full tank for £60,

Was on bottom red line and filled to 40 Litres exactly, below red line must be 15 litres??? (v6 has 55 Litre capacity)

I get over 50 litres when my light comes on permanent.

I got 50 litres in the MGF and that wasn't that low.

It doesn't actually say it is for V engines. If you want a super fuel get some super and add a fuel octane booster.

I don't know if that is actually a serios question, what makes you think a v configured engine requires different fuelling to a In line engine?

How would fuel know if it was an inline, or v, or flat 4 or 6 engine

It's those clever chaps at shell you know, they tinker about with it so as to make it really good for V engines and not work at all in any other. Very clever.

I'm guessing the OP was asking if this fuel is worth the extra money over normal 95 octane unleaded?

I've tried V-power a few times in the 9 years I've had my 180 and never noticed any difference in engine performance.
Economy varies from tank to tank anyway (depending on driving and conditions) so it's hard to see if there's a difference in MPG.

Even if there was, I'd doubt it would be enough to offset the extra cost.
ie, it would still have a higher cost per mile.
