We ignore it – heck, it costs more than ordinary fuel, and we are immediately put off. Why would anyone want to fill their tank with fuel that costs more than ordinary fuel? Fuel prices are bad enough as it is, and our cars get along just fine with ordinary fuel. So why would we bother with Shell V-Power?
