OK, its time to revive this thread. Now that Shell V-Power has been out for a while now, how do you find it compared to the ever popular BP Ultimate? Or Caltex Vortex 98 for that matter? I have stuck with Ultimate all this time, but as the others have discount vouchers I am looking at changing to one of the others but not sure yet which one would be a worthy replacement for Ultimate.
I've used V power for about a month and I noticed on my car I got less mileage per tank than with BP Ultimate, I average about 400-450 per tank with bp, but with shell I was getting around 350ish, and no I wasn't fanging it.
As for power didn't really notice any change between the two.
Vortex 98 will be a perfect replacement for ultimate. Also remember vortex is produced by the same company (caltex) which made the honda feo oil.

I just filled up my 65L tank with V-Power and after reading this thread I feel like I just got ripped off...
Maybe my next visit would be Vortex98 or BP Ultimate...hmm now deciding between the two....
Shame BP does not offer discount vouchers
how does this help? its totally off topic and stupid...Quote:

I did once use BP for about 2-3 weeks, I felt it was slightly more responsive than V-power but hardly noticeable, but i seemed to have gotten alot more mileage out of V-power than BP
BP does have discount vouchers, they align themselves with IGAQuote:

with the mobile petrol i notice a big jump in throttle response,
but that could just be my car , every cars diffrent..
i used to get about 400 out of a full tank..
stupid petrol prices.. i only get about 350 or less now =(
Ive found Shell's V-Power to have pretty good fuel efficiency after the first 2 tanks or so run through. Im actually using the new V-Power Racing (100Octane 5% Ethanol) Nice smoother power delivery, ive tried the BP Ultimate and they are definantly similar but car seems smother with Shell's Petrols.
Fuel efficiency is again similar when comparing 98's but with the V-Power Racing if im driving conservitivly i can get around 520kms out of a tank. (Stock VTi-R) With occaisonal trips into the VTEC Range.
wow you guys must be super sensitive, cos I can't tell jack in performance gains with diff types of fuel, just mileage.
