Herein, does V power petrol make a difference?

No, they don't. Higher cetane diesel (ie V-Power) improves any diesel, higher octane petrol only improves cars that are tuned for it. Modern cars might well be able to advance the timing, but I think it really works well on cars with higher compression, or turbo petrols cos you can run more boost.

Also, does V power give more mpg? The price difference between standard unleaded and premium (e.g Shell V power) locally is about 6%, so only worth the extra if mpg is increased by more than this amount. HJ personally reckons it CAN give a bit extra mpg.

Additionally, what are the benefits of Shell V Power?

Helps to clean key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors from the build up of performance robbing deposits. Friction reducing molecules help critical parts of your engine. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle condition and driving style.

Does premium fuel make more power?

In fact, depending on its blending, a premium fuel may actually contain less energy per unit volume than regular. However, its potential for producing more power and enhanced mpg goes back to MBT and that knock sensor. If premium is recommended, this is the engine's optimal fuel.
