i was using 100ron Shell with the ethanol blend for about 6 months. I dont drive the car much 50km a week if that. I dont pay any attention to mileage because i dont really care, and dont drive much anyway.
Last Saturday i filled it with BP Ultimate, and i gotta say the car does have more urge, revs out smoother and faster....
Shame there arent too many BP's in my immediate area
Try Vortex98 next. I want to hear your comments on it too.
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.

Really great for fuel economy...After a few swigs, you can't drive your car.
how does this help? its totally off topic and stupid...
I generally either use V-power or 8000 just because they are close to my house, the closest BP is about 15 minutes drive away.
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
i find it that bp isnt as good as it was 6months ago.
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.
