Not all gasoline is created equal.
And that's what led the Motoring TV team to the Shell Technology Center in Houston, where the company broke down what separates its new Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline from the rest of the pack.

I have a Nissan 370Z(VQ37VHR engine) with about 28K miles on it and I've been using Shell V-Power Nitro+ exclusively since shortly after I got it; I used Chevron Supreme initially for a few months. The Shell gas seems like good gas but I still get deposit buildup on the intake valves, to the point where my idle runs less smoothly and my engine stumbles on a warm restart. What I did to correct it is to use Redline Si-1 fuel system cleaner, one bottle to the tank, just before my 3K mile oil change and that smoothed out the idle and eliminated the restart problem for about 2K miles. What I have finally one is to add 1/2 of a bottle of the cleaner at the 1500 mile mark and to dose each tankful at 1.5 oz per 10 gal of fuel. The car now runs perfectly with no roughness or performance issues. My engine has always run very cleanly, using virtually no oil between changes and with hardly any soot buildup in the tailpipes. The point here is that no matter how much Shell hypes their "wonder gas" it still is not perfect.

Since 2017 Belgium switched from euro 95 to euro 95 E10 (10% ethanol) They say your car needs more of it because it can produce less energy from it but I don't see any diverence

I can't stand 10% ethanol in my fuel, it makes my engine sound terrible during acceleration.

I used Chevron Techron high mileage fuel system cleaner on my 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 and if I'm not mistaken after the first use she sounds better while idling and seems to perform a little better. I got the exact same result using Chevron techron fuel system cleaner on my 2005 infiniti G35. Would definitely recommend.

I use Chevron in my 2013 (GDi) Genesis Coupe 3.8 and she seems to perform very well and feels incredibly healthy. I also use Chevron fuel system cleaner every once in a while which seems to work great!! After using Chevron high mileage fuel system cleaner my car sounds like it idles healthier than before hand.

The shittiest thing about shell, and this might just be gas station design.. and I could be wrong about this.. but Say the guy before you gets 87 and you want 91.. Woudlnt the hose be filled with 87 so youd get a couple liters or so of shit fuel in with your good stuff? Wouldnt the good shit just be cleaning away what the hosefull of poop fuel just put in?!!?

You'd get about a quart of regular 87 octane left in the hose before the premium starts pumping. Use the same pump the Mercedes used.

Well you're wrong because my source comes from Engineering explained and they tested the same car models and one was using another competitors gas and one was using V power and V power actually worked better than the competitor so no V power is better.

SixR you do realise that motorbikes run on unleaded fuel as well as cars lol, my handbook clearly states use premium 99 octane fuel which is what nitro+ is
