Previously the agent was lead, now less polluting and toxic compounds. The base unleaded gasoline (ULG) is the same, whether it's RON92, 95 or 97. Check whether your 1.3 MPV has a knock sensor and intelligent ECU, astro. If not, the timing is probably set for RON95 and it makes no difference if you use RON97. Just paying for, and burning, more anti-knock.A well-informed forumer said to me that V-Power is produced in Shell Bukom because it's a different process.  Therefore, the hydrocarbon make up may be different, possibly with a higher energy content. Hence the "special blend that provides better combustion and energy conversion than normal fuels" makes sense. Shell also plugs the detergent properties hard. I've always believed Shell to be THE company of the highest integrity in the entire O&G industry. But now I've seen a bottle with "Fully Synthetic" proudly printed on it, and then an MSDS that says it's actually a hydro-cracked G-III oil. So...out goes my belief. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
