Should I use Shell V-Power in my new Ford Focus?

What type of petrol is best for a 2013 model, 1.0-litre EcoBoost Ford Focus?

I had a Toyota Celica and got 10 per cent better economy when using Shell V-Power. Should I still use V-Power or is Shell standard unleaded good enough?

Shell V-Power nitro+. It not only keeps my engine fuel system clean, I'm now getting a 9 per cent improvement in mpg for a 5.7 per cent increase in cost. This has risen from a 6.7 per cent improvement after the first fills.
