Donating Members 2,852 Member For: 17y 12d Gender: Male Location: Vic Somewhere - Sometimes NSW Posted 27/05/08 02:51 PM Share Posted 27/05/08 02:51 PM (edited) Just did my first fill up on V-Power since it was no where to be seen for a few months, and what the?Is it just me, or is it worse then it was before?Anyone know if anything changed in the specs or the mix?Maybe I got a dodgie tank, or maybe its just me.... Have been running Caltex 98 most of the time, and Mobile and BP when I'm closer to a station and think about it normally...Will give it a better run tomorrow and see if there is any difference, as I was in traffic (not heavy but) - maybe it is just me... Dunno... For almost $100 for the tank fill, I hope I am just crazy! Edited 27/05/08 02:52 PM by smicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Donating Members 1,724 Member For: 18y 6m 18d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 27/05/08 11:11 PM Share Posted 27/05/08 11:11 PM I dont normally use Shell, but out of necessity I had to put some V-Power in the old girl the other week.Cant say I was all that impressed. The car seemed a little lethargic & it was thirstier than normal.I think I better stick to Vortex 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 28/05/08 01:18 AM Share Posted 28/05/08 01:18 AM Well, I tried V Power for the first time today and I thought it was great. The car was very smooth on idle and it responded very well. I normally fill up with BP Ultimate but was very impressed with V Power today. I'll give it the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
