My average fuel usage over 6 fill ups.
The first 3 are Tesco Momentum 99. The last 3 are Shell V Power.

Tesco FTW!!! :poke:

VPower only - anything else is emergency fuel to get me to the next VPower Shell station :)

Same, it's less about MPG and power for me, and more about the actual quality of what I'm running on. The additives etc in VPower make it worth the extra mulah!

I've always ran my JDM's on V-power only (or another higher octane in an emergency only a £10 to get me to the neaerest shell)
But my UK I ran on normal 95. I used asda fuel once and it ran like a total bag of bum droppings and I've never put it in again since. I've used morrisons fuel for the past year though (for convenience) and I've had to clean my EGR twice in the last year since (6yrs of ownership and never had to do it before) Since then I've gone back to shell only

V-Power baby. i try not to use anything else if i can help it. as with others, if im desperate and there isnt a shell garage about, then i'll put enough super in to keep me going till i get to the next shell garage.

i still get roughly the same mileage per tank with V-Power than i used to get when running my previous ludes on 95 ron fuel.

and ive got a shell card so collect the points and get money off vouchers 8-)

I have to say, if I had a choice I would use V Power.
My nearest Shell garage is 5 miles away and Tescos is 500 metres away. :(
