V-POWER FUEL OR NORMAL
Permalink  
 


alot of my mates use v-power fuel in there bikes (2 stroke) and they say they get alot more miles per tank just by not using normal unleaded, is it really worth using it? i would love to get more mpg out of mine as i ride long distance , i know it's a bit more expensive but probably worth it?

Yes its worth it, and the bike feels slightly quicker but that might just be me. Shell diesel you defo get a lot more miles to the gallon than supermarket diesel

I have never tried v power in my bike. Purely because when I have used it in strimmers leaf blowers ect they are a bugger to start cause of the high octane levels Because it is designed to be less combustible for presision high performance engines. 

So never tried it in a bike. Might give it a shot though.

You mean that super unleaded stuff?
Never used it. Used it on mini motos the odd time, the power difference was next to none. No real gains from it. But it's more costly.

Shouldn't make any difference in theory, it has a higher octane rating which means you can run a higher compression ratio without it knocking. Not sure if they have any other additives in the fuel to make any better than regular fuel though?

Most of the 50CC - 125CC boi's all hype the super unleaded.

The engine capacity is so small, super unleaded won't do anything. As for it cleaning the engine, load of cock and bull.

Must just be me but all my bikes run perfect on it, never had one run like s**t on it. Mind u they run fine on asda petrol also. U defo get a few more miles to the gallon though.

I always got told to never use it on a small 2 stroke...

Always used normal for every bike and car I've had and it's fine. Economically even if you did get more mpg it would probably break even due to paying more in the first place.

Nope, although I always get fuel from Shell. I don't ever get fuel from anywhere else since getting fuel from Tesco and having water in it :s

make little or no difference, it's designed for high end cars and high end bikes which run higher comp, for example my mates LC4 cant run normal fuel as its a high comp setup and just splutters on normal fuel

I generally treat mine every couple of fill-ups with the V-Power. Doesnt seem to make any difference to me to be honest but it makes me feel better.

I've owned the bike for 3 years. Have always filled up with morrisons fuel or tesco. Bike starts first kick every time. Can't say morrisons fuel is damaging to the engine.
