We use this gasoline in the Uplander to help combat the pinging issue it has. I understand the higher octane has its benefits as far as reducing engine knock, but in a car that requires 87 octane and is operating as designed without any known issues, is there any benefit? I read an article here recently that the "premium grades" of gasoline had more "pure" basestocks that left fewer deposits behind. I also have read that Shell V-Power has more detergents than the other grades of Shell gasoline. I used the V-Power in the Accord this previous fill up. I just started a MPG log and will see if the MPG goes up or down while using it. IGNORE THE COST, any benefit using the V-Power over regular 87 octane as far as cleanliness goes? I understand this will not improve performance, Im not looking to do that.
