• V-Power - no more rotten eggs 16 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  As soon as I fill up with either the old version of V-power or the latest product, the rotten egg smell goes from my Mazda6 Sport 5k. It seems to be worse on Sainsbury's petrol, better with normal Shell and goes with V-Power. Any ideas how this can be?

Unfortunately, it contains no nitromethane, so it will not give your vehicle the performance of a top fuel dragster.  However, it does contain "25% more friction modifier" than its predecessor.

  I believe it is this time of year that winter diesel is being sold and a resulting loss of economy. Would V Power diesel be likely to provide better economy during winter? Thanks
