1. Does anybody buy the v-power?

[spanone]

2. what is v power? a higher octane?

[xultar]

3. I do. My car requires it unfortunately.

[Warpy]

4. Muscle cars use it

and so do some finicky foreign cars.

[EOTE]

5. Some people have to.

Cars that have engines with high compression ratios often have to use 93 octane to prevent pinging in their engines. Some cars receive no benefit from it, others suffer poor performance or even the risk of damaging their engines without it.

10. I pay more than that for organic milk

11. My husband's mustang requires it.. we cheat on occassion, usually..

when its going to be run right back out... Lately he mixes it.. but the bigger fill up is with the higher octane.. I'm after him to sell it.. but its almost all paid for, so I wouldn't have a payment to make on it.. I think we may just keep it for a bit..
