I hear that the V-Power used in Shell has a high concetration of ethanol which is bad for the seals, like it tends to dry it up quicker or something. I heard it from a car meet I went to a few weeks back. Well, more like overheard. But because of the ethanol, the gas is more potent.
Ethanol makes gas -less- potent. It contains less energy than gasoline, that's why your mileage goes down when you use it.
But by and large you will notice no difference between any major brand of gasoline of the same octane and same fuel content (ie 2 majors that are both E10 or that use none at all).
