Default V-power in Perth

Apologies if this is a repost but I've just noticed V-power at the local Shell servo. Another option for 98 users. Any experiences from over east of using this compared to BP, Caltex etc.?

Cheers,

Ian

I used to put that in my old Volvo 360. Can't say I noticed any difference to other 98RON stuff.
I just put 95 in the AU these days.

a mate of mine prefers it over BP ultimate, reckons it "goes harder"
Can't imagine there would be much difference however, they are both 98 octane and both burn.
Iv had a few dirty batches of shell fuel in the past, (not v-power just regular 91), but i just dont bother with shell now

V Power has been available from early July at all Coles Express sites in the metro area, not sure about regional centers? I have used both BP & Caltex 98, BP would be my pick.

Re Shell.. Don't know? But will try a tank or two and see how it goes, I reckon Shell have the best 95 fuel though.
