• Shell V Power and the Mazda Skyactiv X engine 17 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  On a North American forum somebody posted this comment: Shell V Power is high octane fuel, the equivalent of 93 octane in the US [this is the same as 98 RON in UK]. High octane would not work well in the SA-X. While conventional engines have sensors to prevent pre-ignition, the SA-X actually uses the principles of pre-ignition to function.

• Mk2 Mondeo estate, 1.8 Endura.de TD - Shell V-Power vs Fuelsave re MOT emmissions test 18 Feb 2013 (Forum)
     I rang up the technical dept of the Shell customer care 0800 line twice and both times they told me that V-Power and Fuelsave produce exactly the same (low) levels of emmissions.  I strongly got the feeling that they didn't know what they were talking about.

• Shell V-Power diesel: how does it sound to you? 3 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Last Saturday I inadvertently gave my Volvo its first tankful of V-Power diesel. (My local station has only recently started selling it, and the first I knew was when I rolled up next to a pump offering only that variety.) Anyway, it's an extra 6p a litre, or about £3.30 for a 55-litre fill-up.
