Texaco petrol

[agnes]

Is it me, or is it just ****?

I normally use Shell V Power which gives me fantastic milage and a noticable smooth performance over the usual super market tripe.

But, I have been using Texaco over the last 3/4 months as its the closest to my new house.

The other day, I filled up with Shell V Power and the difference was shocking. Stuck a 10er of Texaco in the other day, and bike instantly back to the groggy self it has been for several months.

Is it even possible for a different brand of petrol to make such a difference in terms of performance/smoothness and overal mileage?

Will just have to travel 10 miles round trip each time to fill up with Shell V Power from now on lol.

Always try to use V-Power in the 1098R , maybe its a placebo effect but nothing else seems to give me the same 'feel' and the bike feels rough.

Yea, my 748 hates anything but, I genuinly don't think it's a placebo effect, the throttle response seems to be 'tighter' and smoother if that makes sense?
