Shell V-Power Diesel

[Jiggs]

Yeah...for that price I bet it wouldn't really be a GTL derived diesel. So misleading pa rin yung ibang ads..it's not the same V-Power diesel formulation na ginamit nila sa Audi sa Lemans race. If you check it's color and it's clear as a jet kero or a mineral water then...that's a pure GTL diesel. there shouldn't be any smell at all. Well in practical application it shouldnt be really sold as pure diesel coz of economics...too costly to manufacture, baka pangmix lang. By a year or so Qatar will be the biggest supplier of GTL based liquid hydrocarbons..Oryx and Pearl GTL (Shell) is currently building the worlds biggest GTL plant. The one in Malaysia will be dwarfed in terms of capacity of those two plants.

too bad i learned of this just today sa station, my CRV improved so much in FC when I loaded Shell Premium vs. Shell unleaded. from average of 7km/liter to 8.3km/liter.

siguro with this new Shell V Power Diesel, yun CRDI unit ko will improve a lot. i'm only average 8km/liter now, sana umabot ng 10km/liter

those figures above are all-city stop and go.

Filled up with Shell V-Power Diesel last Sunday, vehicle is an '09 Everest (2.5L variant). Around 56L for Php2,040.xx (Php36.5/L). Used to fill up with Seaoil BioXCeed or Caltex Diesel w/ Techron. Engine seemed a bit "lighter" and a bit more responsive although I'm not discounting the psychological aspect just yet. Have only driven 50+ kms since then so no FC figures yet.

I think I'll continue using V-Power Diesel for the next 2 or 3 fillups just to get a better gauge of the new fuel's "capabilities". With the price rollback a couple of days ago, it's currently at around Php35.3/L which is not a bad price at all, especially compared with Petron's Turbo Diesel fuel.

mas ok sya kaysa dating diesel. i already tried 3 full tank on my pickup, mas tahimik na yung engine nya compare sa dati.. unlike dati pag park ko sa garahe dinig yung engine nya lalo na kung gabi na..

How performance sir? may difference ba?

Try ko full tank yung montero namin tapos hindi ko sasabihin sa next na gagamit. Then ask ko feedback niya after

Ganun? ma try nga sa crosswind namin yan para di masyadong maingay

Hindi ko alam kung may magbabago kapag old school diesel engine.

Pero sa mga new CRDi, baka may pagbabagong mangyari. Dun palang sa tumahimik na engine natuwa na ako, what more kung mas gumanda ang hatak. Ito ang ikakarga ko sa Saturday pauwi ng Laguna.

I trust Shell more than Petron and Caltex. And V-Power, subok na talaga ito kahit nung Shell Velocity pa ang name nito so I think magbenefit talaga ang diesel engines dito.

Still waiting on a Euro-levels response regarding sulfur.

Do keep us posted, Niky.

On another note, do you think this variant is really worth shifting to?
