People who use v power and ultimate are wasting their money, sorry people
These stories go on and on and on and around in circles and you my friend are just another cog in the wheel!

Do you not realise that companies as we have just found out get taken to the courts for misleading the public, and you make a statement like that.

My Father worked for BP at the Isle of Grain when it was there and i have seen ALL tankers come in and fill at the gantry for just one type of fuel but it is the additives that companies put in it to make them better and not just "shots of detergent"

You have to use Premium fuels for Performance cars ,have you never thought of that, and they will not run properly on ordinary fuels.

I have been fortunate to of owned performance cars most of my life and therefore always use the higher octane and cleaner fuel.

I have used Shell V power or Nitro as it is called now for years and when going back to crap fuel in an emergency the motor performs like crap.

I would rather pay for cleaner fuel day by day than have a wretched great bill at the end of the year because the valves have gone west due to carbon deposits.

If anyone cannot tell the difference when putting a better fuel in there car then they are simply not interested in cars or drive really sedately that one cannot tell the difference or there bum is numb !

Also all this GREEN thingy and DPF`s.......you put your cheap nasty dirty fuel in to burn instead of a Premium grade so then the DPF does a regen more often.....and regen`s burn a lot of fuel to get the temperature up to get rid of the crap and all that has been saved because you think you have a GREEN motor then is all let go at once......so much for Expensive Technology that you the consumer buys.

How is Gillingham by the way as that is where i come from....Lol
