“Shell V-Power cleans your car engine, reduces friction up to three times better than previous formulation and is the most advanced efficiency fuel in the market,” said Mark Senteu, the Vivo Energy Kenya marketing and customer care manager said yesterday.
“For the other products (Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Diesel) they are imported through the same process like for other companies and goes through the Kenya Pipeline systems. But when the track is loading at the terminal the addictive is put in every single litre of diesel and unleaded. That’s where the difference is,” added Mr Senteu.
