Shell V-Power

[355spiderguy]

Does everyone use Shell V-power for their Mac's?

Is the 20p a litre premium worth it or is there no real significant benefit from normal unleaded?

Just wondered that when i was filling up last night.

Have always put it in the previous Ferraris and carried that on since i got the Mac, but just use normal unleaded in the wifes near 600bhp AMG and never noticed any performance loss in that whatsoever....

Thanks for that.

Probably wont bother with the V-Power any more.

£78 to brim from proper empty last night of which a tenner of that was V-Power 'tax'...plus its a real pain in the ass to get to the only Shell garage from where we stay.

Thanks for that.

We have 2 Shell garages 'locally', however the easier one to get to doesn't sell V-Power petrol bizarrely enough...it offers V-Power diesel instead.

We have a more local Tesco; will have a lookie to see, although most likely to just go with good old plain unleaded from now on..

Since i started this topic, i have only been using the car for short journeys so only got round to filling up yesterday.

Stuck with the V-max.

Captive audience round here, so instead of 122p a litre like normal unleaded, its 146p a litre...not the 8p premium some suggested...cheeky bar stewards.

Girl behind the counter says its where all the young pups come with their subarus etc...expensive cruising for them.

On a footnote, after starting the topic, whilst filling my wives AMG tank, i noticed it say 97 ron on the fuel flap...since we got it a few years ago i have been using usual 95 ron...although it certainly seems as though all of the near 600 horses are still present and correct.

Thanks for all the advice and info.
