Question Shell V-Power and emissions??

Evening all,

I've got my MOT booked to be done in a few weeks time, and I've been using Shell V-Power over the last few months, would this affect my emissions reading when I have the MOT done?

I would hope not!

Surely they wouldn't be allowed to sell a noncompliant fuel?

Hi driver. I thought they claimed lower emissions with this fuel anyway. Surely they wouldn't get away with marketing a fuel with HIGHER emissions than standard unleaded.

Hi Crofts, I suppose you are all right, I just get paranoid near the time for my MOT.
