for me, my normal use is 98, tried VPower during their promotion, smoother ride and FC slightly improves by abt 10%,

If using VPower can increase 10% of your mileage, then suggest you pumped VPower coz the price different from 98 is less than 10%.  :D

about there lah... usual with 98 is about 14++ to 15+, the last one with VPower is 16++, so abt 10%

anyway... currently back to Caltex... not happy with Shell to increase price first..
(the last two month, I use shell because Caltex raise price first)

iagree.
if vpower can help us to save 10% to 20% of fuel, then shld maintain , to use Vpower instead.
but i thk is all depend on our foot lah. the measurement is not guaranteed and not accurate.

Just to share, abt 1 mnth since 5K servicing never bother to check tyres, then the steering feel very heavy, then I go caltex air pump check Wah piang Horrified.!!

Front tyres 170-183Kpa

Rear tyres 150-160+ kpa

then during this period, my FC like KNS, 11-12, quickly pump front to 245 rear 225, then now driving feel shiok, my last quater tank then I go pump air but due to making whole work week to tuas from changi, my FC was like 14.5 having 3/4 of my tank wasted on lousy tyre pressure!  :mad:

now on good tyre pressure FC seems to increase tremendously......looks like its the tyre pressure all along..
