I have a clio 1.2Tce, in this type of engine (with turbo and compression ratio 9.8:1) can i get better mileage and performance using RON 98?

I would use Shell V-Power to get the most from this engine. You'll benefit from around 10% more power than with 95RON and V-Power will keep the fuel system clean and therefore more efficient. It also allows you to use lower revs without labouring the engine, which, of course, brings fuel economy benefits.

Is a tank of Shell petrol V power every 5th fill worth it? Does it have a decent cleaning effect over one tank of fuel? Should I go with it consistently?
