What are the benefits of V Power diesel?

Asked on 17 October 2024 by Colin Gregg

Answered by David Ross
Premium fuels such as Shell V-Power diesel generally contain more cleaning agents that are designed to remove deposits from your engine, with the potential for benefits in terms of economy and engine longevity. Some owners say they have found clear benefits from using premium fuels, while others say they have noticed no benefits, so there are no guarantees in terms of results. For most owners it is a matter of balancing the potential benefits against the increased cost compared to standard fuels.
