The one at Columbia and Philip is out of bronze and silver. Get V-Power at bronze price while it last!

Remember to only rush there if your car actually needs premium gas. It won't do you any good if your car uses regular gas.

On the plus side, OP was good enough to indicate where it was!

People who claim to feel the extra "power" sniff glue. Your engine will run a little warmer at most :)

Thanks, OP! I topped up my tank on the way past. The tanker truck arrived just as I was filling up, so probably this deal is dead (or will be very soon).

You may get better mileage with the v power since it contains no ethanol where the bronze contains up to 10%. Your car will not be anymore powerful though.

Not sure what kind of cars you people are driving........but for those that require premium, there's a TON more power on higher octane fuels. If you're driving a POS like a Cobalt, OF COURSE you're not going to notice a difference.

I had a '91 Laser Turbo and it was a DOG on anything but 93 or 94 octane.

but thats the point some folks are trying to make. you car required premium gas. my honda civic might not show any noticeable difference. so those who need, it go ahead and buy.

Not sure what kind of posts you're reading but if you read the posts in this thread you'd know that we were saying that there is no benefit UNLESS YOUR CAR REQUIRES PREMIUM.

Some people think it benefits all cars, hence our advice that it doesn't.
