MPG, about 28 city/highway. As far as performance, it didn't seem to matter much as far as brand goes. At least to ye 'ole butt dyno.
According to the link I provided a few posts ago, Lukoil is not TT, nor do they guarantee their fuel quality.

If it works, why change it. As an aside, Getty was bought by Lukoil 9 years ago.
If your RX uses premium, is it 91 or 93? If it's 93, maybe that's why it doesn't like Turkey Hill, which is a 92? If so, maybe the knock sensors are a bit annoyed??

Currently I would never try this gasoline because in my neighborhood this new gas from Shell costs $3.40/gallon/regular.
AND the price just keeps rising higher almost twice per week.
I'd rather buy ARCO supreme gasoline and put in a bottle of Techron every couple months or so.
How Shell can get away with advertising this type of gasoline that's so new during our nations bad recession I can't say.
Durango
Not any more in cost here versus the other stations... We get screwed anyways... So it's probably in the price!

I wonder how this gas fits in with our pipeline distribution system. Don't we already have some 51 different fuels that are delivered by our pipeline system? It must be a logistical nightmare trying to schedule another boutique fuel to be delivered in our pipelines.
I would assume this boutique gas becomes boutique when the fuel tanker delivery guy adds the bottle of additive.

I didn't know if the V-power was just an additive or if it was a completely different formulation (like Amoco Silver). The Shell web site doesn't make this distinction. They just keep talking about what V-power does.
The additives are typically added at the the delivery terminal. Most fuel comes in on the same pipeline.
