What's happend to V-Power

[ashe]

I thought V-Power is 98 RON? Hmm... maybe in malaysia only. They are selling it here for RM 2.43/litre.

I think its fab.

Shell optimax was 98 RON but the v-power stuff is 99 RON

The 99 octane V-Power is CHEAP! BP have a 102 octane that cost £2.42 per litre!

I just want to put £10 in mine and see what its like!

I REALLY would advise against that unless you fancy burned holes in your valves. I tried it too and ended up with a £1800 bill months later

really :confused1: whole point of higher octane is to stop/reduce detonation.....

That is about 1/3 of the cost here!!

It is closer to 7.50RM here

Well i suppose its a good thing the nearest station that stocks it is about 50miles away from me :-S

Hmm... I don't think that v-power will do that to the engine.

I pump V-power always and has run over 10k km now, nothing wrong with the engine and feel it is more smoother.

>_<

Did you read the above posts properlly ? I doubt it as we were talking about 102 + octane by bp. Not v power ....

filled up the other week and no shortage our way :thumbup:

 

[Graeme GTR]

anyone else notice a dip in fuel consumption when not using V-Power?

according to my local garage the supply was "contaminated". People are so full of poo

 

[ben_r1]

V-power is the only fuel for high performance cars, mines mapped to 99 ron so if its not avaliable anymore i need to go halfrauds and buy a bulk load of octane booster lol

How come? What car was that on?

Reason i ask is I've ran 76 Cool Blue (106 Octane & £4/litre lol) in cars in the past and never had a single misshap? Granted only for track and 1/4 short stints. But at least situations where the engine is under full load for extended periods.

I had to put supermarket fuel in last week...cars run awful. Can't wait to stick V-Power in again.

 

[Mike]

It only seems to be the North of England and South West England that are suffering from V Power issues!!!

Tesco 99 is and has been proven to be one of the best fuels out there

This was Morrisons...

Say no more lol!

 

[Ed...]

since new always been on tesco 99 or v power . . . . i would never put the rubbish stuff in . . . i'd risk running on vapour to find a shell lmao. oh and 102 octane????? i thought the scale only went up 2 100 as its a percentage?

 

[Andy]

Say no more lol!

The way its run i think if i pissed in the tank i'd get better performance. LOL.
