Should I use Shell V-Power in my 1.2 Puretech engine?
I have Vauxhall Crossland X 1.2T 130PS and intended to use Shell V-Power fuel to keep the components as clean as possible. After reading the owners manual, it recommends 95 Ron - 98 Ron. As Shell V-Power is 99 Ron, would this be suitable to use in this engine or should I use BP Ultimate, which on the pump says 97 Ron? I don't want to cause any damage with a higher Ron than manufactures recommend.

Put it this way, I ran a Peugeot 308 with the 1.2 PureTech 130 for 12,000 miles on Shell V-Power and it ran beautifully: bags of power and torque and a brim to brim average of 48.58mpg.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Practical inside with lots of space and a good-sized boot. Impressive engines shared with the Peugeot 2008. All models get a touchscreen system and climate control. More stylish from 2021.
