tried it in the 180... it idles nicer than bp ultimate, and it has nicer response than bp ultimate at low revs.. but high revs the bp ultimate ftw.. :D
in the verada i drive it like a granny so i carnt tell the difference, but i have found that if i put 98 octane in the verada it is actually sluggish, but has better fuel consumption it does however like the 95octane.. wierd but true for me ne way :confused:

I either run shell 95 or V-power because my car doesn't run well on 91 octane with the new head, but I can't tell the difference between them.

i found that caltex's premium vortex is better than standard unleaded.....but as i mentioned b4 i havn't yet tried the new V-power :) can't wait to see and feel the difference. But i've been told that it's not recommended to run V-power full-time on your vehicle is that true?

Mate whoever told you that is an idiot.

Wait till she gets empty then fill her up, you shouldn't feel much difference.
