Performance Fuel

Is there much of an advantage in using the performance fuels available at the pumps, such as Shell v power nitro+ ?? Certainly sounds the part with a name like that, but is it worth the extra money over standard unleaded?

I get about 40/50 miles more to a tank on v power

Well, I'm a firm believer in these super fuels and have been for years. Many people will tell you they have not noticed a difference in performance or economy and that may be true if you're driving a 1.2 Clio. There's a fifth gear snippet on YouTube which shows differences between different fuels with rolling road results on an city car, a warm hatch and a Subaru. I only use v power in my vr and my family car, I can get 390 miles using super and only 360 on ordinary unleaded with the family car. The extra expense actually returns a saving for me, makes my car more responsive to drive and helps to keep the combustion chambers clean and therefore more efficient. I actually average better average mpg than manufacturers figures with the family car. I never use supermarket fuel, at a push ill use shell unleaded. Try shell super for a couple of tanks with an injector cleaner in one tankful, you will notice the difference.

Agree with bealieboy 100%. I only use v power, my abf only ever used v power as well. When I have to use normal unleaded in an emergency I always notice a lazier engine.
