[QUOTE="wc9922, post: 322191, member: 6000"] Bro Schwepps, I am not an oil exec but I do provide services to them as part of my job. Euro4 diesel? We can't produce it for the time being unless the plants undergo revamping, which I hope they would be so I have more work ..Ha ha.... I think what u felt is the torque increase, the cars willingness to go when u apply the throttle change. Yes it's subjective, some engines respond very well to fuel grades while some others feel benign, no feel. It's also have to do with the gearing of the vechicle, the intake design, cam profile,configuration, piston squish area etc etc. and what not. Complicated stuff.... In all hosesty, V-power was created to fill the void in the fuels sector where there is a small demand for a ' premium gasoline' for the use of ultra high performance vechicles. That's why it's not available throughout the whole country right now. The current demand does not justify each station to allocate one tank for v-power only. V-power based gasoline is not stocked in large quantities so sometimes runouts do happen.If you can check the volume/tonnage of Regular and Super vs Vpower sold at the pumps, u will be surprised at the ratio. I can't recall, but there's not a big market for V-power. What is does however is give you an option..........at the pumps. [/QUOTE]
