Which fuel?
I will shortly be picking up a brand new Skoda Fabia vRS. Is there any risk filling it up with Shell V-Power right from its near-empty state upon collection?
A couple of Fabias ago I did this and within 24 hours the engine management system shut the car down on me and the garage said I'd put in diesel by mistake (a receipt quickly showed them I hadn't). Possibly entirely unrelated, but it's made me nervous about that first filling!

I run my own petrol cars on V-Power exclusively and have done since it was called Optimax. Keeps the engines nice and clean, allows low revs and give good economy.

Great performance from buzzy 1.4 TSI engine. Very precise in corners. Firm but forgiving ride. Nicely weighted steering. Impressively economical.
