U mighta noticed a difference if you reset the ECU via the Battery terminal for a couple min's i did it once i got hm after filling up the next day i drove it hard for a bit then parked it up at work till lunchtime. It seemed like my car had more life in her when i went out for lunch that day.

I managed to get 8.1/100km round town pretty close to someone else's economy further up the pg 7.9L/100km but then its 2.2 over 1.8 mayeb thats why, & i didnt drive like a nana all the time either.

So after using V-power for about a month now i'd give it the thumb's up bein that its fairly economical and not much lesser performance than 98 i dont think ill go back to 98 to tell the truth it's to expensive and all you rich bastard's with deep wallet's that wanna cry no 98 is the shit only get that, have you even try'd v-power you maybe plesently surprised, cus I find the problem with 98 your always tempted to put your foot down more just to feel that extra couple of horse power you may gain, V-power is defintly the best right now over mobil's 95, gull or gas as there know'n down here and catex's techron too, dunno about challenge i never go there.

I think Ferrari did well and from reading there little pamflet in there stations you can grab, I think they got it spot on with the additive's they put in it.
