General rule of thumb:

1. Both fuels are good, offering 99 RON.

2. V-Power provides a smoother engine response (eg idle, power delivery etc) than Momentum.

3. Turbocharged cars mostly respond better to Momentum due to its higher alcohol mix (which provides better latent heat of vaporisation). Turbocharged owners often claim that Momentum therefore provides more low end kick than V-Power.

4. V-Power is ultimately better than Momentum as it maintains 99 RON but also has patented cleaning additives which promote engine health and longevity.

I’m pretty sure that momentum also has its own engine cleaning properties :?

You don’t say.

Well but then you mapped it beforehand? It wouldnt produce more power just cos you changed fuel at the pumps..?

It was mapped both times, the fuel allowed it to be mapped differently the second time. If I ran 95ron on the second map it would have pinked at high revs.

Exactly so what I wrote stands then. Unlike the case of my Fiat, just changing fuel would not give you more power, instead lesser fuel would maybe harm the engine, as would filling her up with water.

You don’t say.

You only list v-power as having engine cleaning properties, i replied that momentum fuel also incorporates them.
I don’t understand your reply?

Both have cleaning additives but V-Power is better in this department; the Millbrook Report confirms this.

Shell have also placed more emphasis on this by patenting their formula which I believe is now called Dynaflex Technology.
