Doubt it - Probably normal unleaded in the tank, but no-ones been clever enough to put a label on the pump explaining it

Loads of Shell garages near me, i hope they don't got to BP as V-Power is so much better imo than BP Ultimate.

BP gives me less mpg and also had rough idle/pull off, seemed like it bogged down in low revs, Vpower is spot on

Ultimate is just a bit sour?

No seriously, in my escort which doesn't exactly tick over or rev freely anyway ultimate made fuck all difference, v power made it more responsive, rev more freely, and felt quicker, in my ibiza i got better mpg and it felt quicker. never put anything but v power in my pug.

So, from swopping fuels, you can feel a difference, but when you gut rear of a car out, you cant feel the difference?

BP Ultimate made no difference to my car what so ever over standard BP. Resorted back to standard BP - I didn't like being fleeced 10p extra a litre for nothing.

Never tried V-Power in my car. Dad swears by putting it in the M3, has made it run much much better!
