I use Shell V-power in this high-tech engine. Honest John claims better consumption + engine cleaning using this fuel. Super unleaded costs a bit more but unless you are doing a high mileage the extra cost is minimal compared to other motoring costs eg depreciation.

From my calculations I got more than enough extra mpg out of V power to cover the higher cost of that fuel. Plus other benefits that it might offer but are harder to measure.

for those of you from the west midlands, you must have seen the Applegreen petrol stations. They are the cheapest of all and i live and work near one. I always use them on the way home.
