Shell v-power

[ILikeMy240sx]

How many of you actually use this stuff?

Ive been running on this for few weeks now... Doesnt seem any different tho.

I just put 9 gallons in saturday, it's the first time I've used it, and got 30 miles a gallon almost all highway.

I really don't have a basis for comparison, because I put the 270 miles on in one night. Usaually it's mixed city/highway all the time.

i always use it, especially since my best friend owns the shell station. whenever i use regular from other places my car runs like garbage..

[KDashy]

I always use Shell V-power, but thats only because its the cheapest gas station around.

here in So Cal, I use 91 octane gas and my car loves me.. if I put anything lower than that, it hates me...

[240Knightrider]

we have 93 octane here, ive never used the V-power. I think it only helps clean the fuel system out. I could be wrong. i just use premium. Honestly money is tight for me but I dont really take one gas station over the other because of price. Premium seems to be from 2.03 to 2.10.

My baby refuses to drink anything but v-power been using it for a month or 2 now and it seems like she runs just a little better every week. may be that's just me though

Since I did the CA, all I run is 93 V-Power.

The only thing I used was Shell premium, now that they switched to the V-Power, I still use it. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, I haven't noticed a change but my engine loves 93 octane.

only shell station around here is owned by the dudes from India. Me and my siblings have made great friends with them and they said in the Landcruiser it works great and my brother has recently ran it in his car but we cant tell a difference. Anyone got a link to a comparison or review?

[ILikeMy240sx]

According to studies they have done it does clean your injectors and valves more than other fuel...

I think running on this for few weeks bfore your inspection will help.

[drifter_for_life06]

very well could if this is true. what does teh "V" stand for? anyone know?

[sk8erguy1501]

ya. i noticed my car runs much better with the new shell v-power gas. anything else sucks ***.

[drifter_for_life06]

i usually get the highest octane i can. usually depends on my cash in my pocket. i might have to try the v-power

[SpeeDDrifT]

im a die hard chevron user........sounds like this vpower stuff is just a means for shell to compete with techron.....

there's no replacement for sunoco ultra 94. it's the best gas. i can tell a difference. i like Pennsylvania.

[BadMojo]

No offense, but unless you're running higher than stock compression or some form of forced induction I think 94 octane is sort of overkill. I do use Sunoco gas quite often, just not 94 octane.

[MECPInstaller]

you guys think it would benefit to use somethign better than 87 octane on a pretty well stock s14?

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

none taken. i still prefer it because my car does run smoother with it, but like everyone responding to this thread, it's all about personal preference.

MECPInstaller - i think it would help with fuel mileage, but as far as power goes, not really.

thats usually what gets in my tank. My friend uses 94 on his kaE Stanza and can really tell a difference.

[AkademikONE]

yea, i always used 91 octane V-power here in cali, and i can tell i get more MPG than the lower octanes, and my car runs smoother, and my SR20 runs great with it

[drifter_for_life06]

my friend with his stanza said he gets i tihnk liek 423miles to the tank or something like that? not sure though. he also ran Auto-Rx so that helps out a LOT
