Shell V-power

[sillylankan]

ok before people start flamming, i did a search! if i didnt do it properly, hook us up with some links !

i dunno if this is new or not as in the 'v-power', because i took no notice of petrol before i goy my car, few weeks ago. About a week ago, was filling up my car with some normal unleaded petrol, payed for it came back to my car, and this guy comes up to me and says your killing your car mate, talked to him for a few seconds and then got back into my car, thinking this guy is a freak. anyway....the next time i went to fill up, i decided to fill it up with v-power, dunno why, i think i just remembered that guy telling me not to fill it up with normal unleaded.

Like i know vpower is 98 octane, but whats the difference between the other 98 octane at other petrol-stations.

Who uses this stuff? is it good?

Please dont flame! please!

98 is pretty much 98 for all intents and purposes.

Some 98 has ethanol, some does not.

You can lookup each fuel type on respective makers websites.

i use the v-racing version.. i love the stuff..

dont use anything less than 98, especially dont use 91..

BP ultimate, Mobil Synergy 8000 and v-power is all good...

To be honest, i've seen too many WRX's ping (on dyno days) with Shell fuel, to ever use the stuff.

People will all tell you something different...

I use Vpower in my skyline and did so on my 2 dyno runs which were above 250 didnt complain..

but i would never run normal unleaded thats for sure.

The guy wasn't a freak

You will kill your car if you use normal unleaded (91ron) and push it at the same time. I know of one person that blew his engine after pushing the car with 91ron. Another mate decided to save some money, till he heard the pinging come from the engine.

First did u see ur engine light flashing under sersious load? on 91..thats kinda bad. You might have experieced crappy performance as the stock ECU (i assume) goes into R&R when it knocks like crazy.

BP Ultimate is good stuff for the 98...many ppl have found this on many different cars. Me and some guys did exenstive testing in our FTOs between BP and Shell and BP won every time on the stock ECUs which are desigend for 100 RON in J-Land.

V-Power Racing (100) really lowered my knock to mid teens in general all the time when tuned on 98...but thats kinda obvious now isn't it.

(shell)100 RON good, IMO 98 RON bad.... BP/Mobile FTW

suprised it was locked before I read it myself

V power is like any other 98 PULP. Im not sure if its the same as BP Ultimate though... Optimax was worse than Ultimate.

From my personal experience, I like BP Ultimate. I find all my cars run better on it, giving better performance and a little more Ks. From my experience, every one was bias for some reason or another, so my solution was to try em all and see for my self. Its not going to hurt, as long as its a 98oct. I am bias as well, so the only way you will know for sure is to try it for your self. Here are some linkz for each brand.

BP Ultimate

Shell V Power

Mobil Synergy 8000
