you do know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit :rolleyes:

if you read my post all i said was that a friend of mine who works at a shell servo was told so. so what makes u think i would kno anything more ?

if you want to know how v-power or v-power racing was designed for larger cylinder engines, or even if that is true (as what i was told may not be 100% correct) i would suggest you email your question to shell itself, although considering they make the stuff they'll probably say its great 4 everything. lol

dont bother

simmo, do u know y there are different grades of fuel?

premium fuel is most important for high performance engines, this usualy consists of smaller engines running high compression ratios to produce alot of power or normal comp engines running boost

the premium fuel is required to prevent detonation, pre explosion of fuel mixture as in the mixture is placed under large pressures

so u see, generally, big v8s dont need premium fuel as they are a primitive engine design, they rely on huge cylinders and displacement to make lots of power instead of high comp with small displacement or boost

i use bp ultimate and i still get black smoke hahaha my full tank gets me about 300kms n i drive a ek b16a as well

try ecu reset? If it's still no good after the reset, find out if there is ECU error code.

well i'd say that the 500kms/tank is an improvement on your earlier statement :-)

yeah hell yeah lol

i've started having a similar problem with both my cars EU & EK.

Ever since shell has come out of their V-power drought their fuel seems to run quicker than normal.

Any i only pour from 1 shell which i have used for over 10yrs (starting to show my age)

I've started to use Vortex 98 now, and milage has gone abck to normal about 450km per fill up or 8-9ltr per 100km.

With the V-power recently i started to get 300-350km per tank

Yeah V-power isnt al that.
I used to have serious pinging problems running V-power on my S13.
And I noticed bad mileage on my Pulsar.
But V-power seems to have more 'kick' on NA cars.
Anyway BP ultimate is the fuel of choice amongst the Silvia ppl.

Is V-power the 100 RON, or 98 RON fuel?

v-power is 98, v-power racing is 100
