If you use Shell V-Power Nitro Plus it will not only keep your engine's fuel system clean, it should pay for its extra cost in improved mpg. But it will only do this if you use the better torque at low revs to shift up earlier.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
