based on last postings.. it seems that v-power works better on smaller car e.g. civic n integra.. while vortex (and ultimate?) works better on bigger car e.g accord?
i only use vortex 98
i heard a horror story about vpower100 last night. my mates 1yr old wrx. he is 1st owner. took it for a thrash after putting in vpower100 and it felt stronger. that is until he blew his engine
now im not saying vpower100 blows ur engine. but it was the 1st time he used vpower100 and it was the 1st time he ever blew an engine
Not really a coincidence...Quote:

hmm perth sucks, the only 98 octane fuel is ultimate and when you leave the cbd namely augusta (perth people will know what im talking about) some petrol station managers done even know what the word premium means.. :(

In my rotor it made 198rwkw on opti @ 8psi.. and on BP it made 239.5rwkw on 8psi :) same tune... just diff fuels.. i ran opti once in my 180sx... because i had no other choice and guess what.... it didnt turn back on after i poured it
Too many bad experiances so ill never use the shit ever again
I think you should try each of whats on offer and then make a personal call on what you think is best for your car and your style/kind of driving. Every1 is going to have a different opinion and there will be no right or wrong answer. Trial and error is the only way you are going to find what best suits your motor vehicle.
can anyone tell me the ron rating of v power?
