Default V Power or E10 unleaded

Since buying my T4 engined V60 new last year, I have only ever used Shell V Power. I have only done this in the perhaps naive belief that it will keep the engine’s internals cleaner than standard unleaded, making it last longer.

If I swapped to standard unleaded, I would only use branded fuel. Does anyone have any experience of comparing how a 2020 T4 runs on ordinary unleaded with running on V Power? Will I lose any MPG and will the engine “coke up” quicker if I run the car on a branded unleaded?

I mainly drive on A roads and on the Motorway at 60 to 65 mph getting an indicated 43 to 44 MPG and intend to keep this car for many years.

Many thanks
