Should I use Shell V-Power in my new Ford Focus?

What type of petrol is best for a 2013 model, 1.0-litre EcoBoost Ford Focus?

I had a Toyota Celica and got 10 per cent better economy when using Shell V-Power. Should I still use V-Power or is Shell standard unleaded good enough?

Shell V-Power nitro+. It not only keeps my engine fuel system clean, I'm now getting a 9 per cent improvement in mpg for a 5.7 per cent increase in cost. This has risen from a 6.7 per cent improvement after the first fills.

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.
