Long term V-Power user.

[ER-3682]

Yes.. Why?

Because,i felt my car using V-Power,the power same as Caltex Platinum,which is 10 cents cheaper.

[Kiadaw]

I top up Shell 95 all the time. Everytime the petrol attendant also ask to wipe my windscreen clean.

[Shicyj]

I mean the difference between using 98 and V-power. Example: 14.2km/l using v-power, minus ?km/l using 98 petrol.

 

My bad, I normally use 95 unless there is the monthly V-Power promo. with Esso 95 I average about 13.3km/l. Difference is about 1km/l

 

however, to note that before i used V-Power once a month, my FC is only about 12km/l using Esso 95. I felt that V-Power has helped to clean my engines. and the once a month "treatment" helps to maintain it.

 

My pickup also improved.

[Good-Carbuyer]

if you ask, roughtly for 48L, vpower can travel @ 480km, for 95 @ 420km.

But for me fuel consumption is not an important point if I want turbo car, I don't believe power n mileage can go together

This is not a realistic expectation

I believe to ba satisfactory with about 1.25km/l difference for turbocharged engine. Mine NA, so I look for both better acceleration and FC. I upgrade if there is FC about 1.0km/l better (value-for-money). I asked because I am going to try V-power next, upon my return from Malacca trip.

Last time I remember there was a grade called XO in Shell.. Am I right?

I wonder if drink-driving has got to do with this XO petrol being withdrawn from the market?

[D3badge]

Of course should feel different in pulling at the pocket, too, unless better FC observed.

 

yup Vpower very subjective depend on each wants..... some want good FC, some want power, some want to save $$$$. for me primary is power as I enjoy my ride more responsive dun mind paying a little more as for FC.... never really consider as my car average is only 6km+/L thus FC not my priority

Sometimes I do miss the acceleration of my previous 1.5l engine, so far so good with 1.3l, just like to utilise it to the maximum within its COE.

I dont know why.. I am psychologically tuned like.. V Power is the best..

[VellfireS]

yup XO that was a long time they have it in Australia too in the past

 

I think that XO is the current 98?

As the name suggests , maybe..

[Limxiaoming]

Actually everytime they ask me if want windscreen wipe i will decline.

I still dunno the market until today. If u ask them to help u wipe windscreen must u give them tips?

Or is it an industry practice or something...

[Redplanet]

Should be an industry practice to encourage customers to return.

So u usually let them wipe n just smile n say thx will do?

[Passion]

Why not we propose to shell for shell diesel, we call it ang hei, shell 95 we call it D24, shell 98 we can it XO and Vpower we can call it Mao shan wang?

[Voodooman]

I thought a small tip is usually expected as service charge is not included in the petrol bill.
