the foreman say my optimum boost is 0.8bar. MAx boost is 1.1bar.

So... suddenly i think abt the v-power, since the fuel octane is higher...
so, if i using the v-power n running at 1bar.

Is it more safety?
 
Why does everyone think that V-Power is running on higher octane ? Isn't it the same 97 RON as the other premium unleaded petrol ?

no.its not a higher octane.

no? i tot its 98 RON, den y is everybody filling it up since it gives the same performance dat sylkron 97 offers AND costs 10 cents more.

i dont get it..
 
I had the impression that the v-power have higher octane too.. but apprently it is not (or may be just very little)..

What is the octane rating of Shell V-Power?

Octane ratings for premium gasoline vary across the country. The octane level of Shell V-Power is anywhere from 90 to 93 octane, depending on the region. It’s important to point out, however, that octane is not the only factor to consider when choosing a fuel. For example, many cars that don’t require higher octane can benefit from the cleaning power provided by Shell V-Power.
Shell V- Power premium gasoline actively cleans for better performance. It helps clean up deposits on intake valves and fuel injectors left behind by low-detergent gasolines. That’s because Shell V-Power contains more than five times the amount of cleaning agents required by government standards. If these deposits are not removed, some vehicles may experience hesitation during the initial warm-up period.
 
From shell malaysia FAQ:

Will Shell V-Power affect fuel economy adversely?

No. The petrol consumption of Shell V-Power is every bit as good as the quality Shell petrol you are used to, with an added dose of extra power whenever you want it. In fact, the unique formulation of Shell V-Power burns so well and so completely that every drop is utilised to give your engine maximum performance and efficiency.



Can I mix Shell V-Power with other petrol?

Yes. Shell V-Power is perfectly compatible with other petrol but its benefits will be reduced if it is mixed.
