It's probably the best fuel you can buy from the pump!

It's replaced Optimax

Vpower is 99ron as standard.

When i have ran V power in my standard motor you really can real the *urgency* in the car. it feels bloody good!!

Vpower replaced optimax in name.

I understand that it has more goodies added than, for example Tesco 99ron.

however, there is an urban myth, that the BP ultimat fuels are sometimes 102 ron as there is a delivery issue and they catn fill all their pumps up with the 99ron version....nice!!!!

Aint had one of them for ages

I actually get about an extra 30 miles per tank when using v power compared to other fuels.

A few people have said the same thing on the MLR too so it's all good

as a rule, if you go to a petrol station and they have 2 types of unleaded, the more expensive one should be fine, as it should be a variation of super-unleaded

PS don't apply this theory whilst in europe as they have WEIRD petrol

Understated - fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking expensive.

And completely fucking pointless unless you intend to get your car remapped to make benefit of the extra octane!

Stick with V-power. You know it makes sense
