[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 322182, member: 3592"] Thanks for the informative post wc. :top: What you said matches what an oil company exec told me at a dinner once: not all fuels are the same, because the formulations differ among the brands, and grades within a brand. And that's even before considering the additives. BTW, are you an oil exec? :) I'm not one to fall for marketing blurb such as 'detergent' or 'friction reducing' properties, and branding associations such as F1 and Ferrari. I do my own comparisons and for the past 10+ years, km and lit stats of every full tank for each car go into an Excel program in my PDA. So my FC records are very accurate and long term. I can say definitively that FC with V-Power is better by 5-10% compared with Super in all my cars. I never use Regular, so no comparison with that. Regarding torque and willingness to rev, I hear what you say about performance cars. But my own findings are that I can't feel a difference in my above 180hp lux cars, but I can definitely feel a difference in my Myvi and previous Pajero. In a small cc car or heavy 4WD, small changes in hp can be felt easily. Any comments about this wc? [/QUOTE]
