Somebody posted on here somewhere ( I don't know what board) that they tried using it, and got about 20% better gas mileage, so I thought I'd try it. I used it for 4 or 5 tankfuls, and I got absolutely no more mileage than from any other premium gas, but the 'seat of pants' feel was quite a bit less power (on an FPT 9000). I've now gone back to exxon/mobil, and the power is back to normal. In the late 1980's, Shell had a debacle in Europe when they lauched "Formula Shell", which was supposed to generate more power and clean the injectors better.... after a year or two it was withdrawn, because of the harm it was doing to engines. I wonder if V-power (or lack thereof) will be a case of deja vu, all over again? I won't be buying V-power again...
