UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also just recieved a reply from Mazda regarding the nitrogen enriched fuel and they state they do not recomend it untill all testing has been done. |
V-Power is made from People!!!!!! :yumyum:
|
VVVVEeeeeeeeeeeeee licious :evil_laug
|
Here is the email I got from Mazda.....
Cesar, Mazda has not officially approved the use of this nitrogen enriched fuel, therefore we cannot recommend its use. Regards, Tim Kotlar Specialist, Customer Assistance E-Business |
Interesting, but that is what I would expect them to say.
I would E-mail them back and see if they have any plans to do so. |
Might be more fun to send Mazda's reponse back to the guy at Shell and ask if they will therfore be covering any warranty claims on Mazda rotary engines. That might get a slightly more nuanced reply.

Already did

So, I filled up with the "new and improved" Shell V-Power. All I can say is..... WTF!?!?!?!? I get poor gas mileage, about 160-190 miles per tank(never hit 200). Well, I am at 1/4 of a tank and need to fill up soon and I am at 120 miles. My driving habits didnt change. I will fill up again to see if this is a fluke or if this is what to expect with my car and this new gas. I would love to get my hands on pure 93 octane gasoline with no additives to see how it runs and what the mileage is like.
