Pretty much because I knew it was designed for 95 and above, and my local servo only does 91, 98, diesel and gas! So 90% of the time it runs on V-Power, the other 10% is when I'm out and about and need fuel but no Shell servos around, so it gets the BP Ultimate or whatever the Caltex 98 is.
After some experimenting, I ran mine on BP Ultimate. The extra cost was compensated by noticeably better fuel consumption.
