I got a tank on V-Power. I can tell the difference but the cost differential of 10p/ltr is too great to justify the benefit right now.

I have 99 2.8 with 82K. I just fill up at the Shell on the corner out of convenience, I preferred Chevron (with techron
). Anyway, I filled up a month ago, and high tailed it to work 17 miles with some sharpish corners. Holy SMOKES! It just revved right up, I was a different vehicle. Did someone install a cat-back in the middle of the night? No, but it felt like it. It did something, something good. I had one tank inbetween of another vendor, it still "kept" the improvement somewhat. Now I am back on the V-Power and its definitely better (for me). I didn't even know about the nitrogen until next time I filled up, then the light bulb went off (I really did check to make sure the exhaust system was the same still)! Now instead of loathing myself for not driving and extra mile to get to Chevron, I will only fill up at shell and not even care about the extra $0.05 (that they were overcharging previously anyway).
5 stars for a piece of marketting that actually worked (*****).
Will a non 88K mileage car benefit? I don't know. Its certainly worth trying a tank out to see.

FWIW, I have 3 shell stations included in my daily commute, and they can vary up to 15 cents/gallon between the three. I use Shell because of this:

Check out the retailers page. Shell is the only one on the list in my area. I'll stick with it for the peace of mind, and it's really not that much more expensive than other stations in my area...

Ya, Shell is a Top Tier Company which was made up by Toyota, GM, and BMW I think. It's cleaned my motor without a doubt, performance increase is felt. Nothing but good goes in the tank when you use V-Power 91 Premium.
