[QUOTE="Traveler, post: 396069, member: 7248"] My own personal tests comparing the 3 fuels (all using Shell fuels) on my 325i Sports in an urban environment (city roads + city highways only, no outstation trips included), measured over distances of over 1500km each time produced these results: Shell RON95 (Fuel Save): 6.8km/L or RM0.26/km (@RM1.80/L) Shell RON97: 7.0km/L or RM0.29/km (@RM2.05/L) Shell V-Power: 7.4km/L or RM0.32/km (@RM2.38/L) - using the latest price for V-Power The numbers appear quite close to Schwepps' figures. However, I noticed the most recent batch of RON95 had noticeably worse FC. Over a distance of 700km or so, I am seeing 6.6km/L or RM0.27/km. I am not sure if this due to recent traffic conditions or the fuel itself. I am continuing this run at RON95 for now. For city driving, I generally do not notice much difference in "power" between the 3 fuels, although I do think I feel a bit of difference between RON95 and V-Power, but since it wasn't a blind test, it could just be the knowledge of what fuel I am using influencing my perceptions.
