New Shell V power nitro +
« on: 18 April 2013, 12:20 »
Just got an email from shell, I in their loyalty programme, informing me of this new fuel they have developed.

http://www.shell.co.uk/gbr/products-services/on-the-road/fuels/vpower/what-is-v-power-nitro-plus.html

Maybe worth a read, maybe not.

Haven't seen the price of this yet but will take my sick bag with me! :lipsrsealed:

102 RON from what the lad in my Shell garage told me earlier and will be priced around £1.85 per litre.....This was from a young spotty lad so don't know how true this is!

I heard about this a few weeks ago at my local shell garage from the guy behind the till. He didn't know price but he did say it was over 100RON and it was going to be pretty popular with the tuning guys (I presume decent value for a 100+RON fuel).

My local Shell had this when I filled up earlier. It's the same price as the old V-Power which it has replaced but is better for the engine and more economical.  The attendant did tell me some other stuff but I wasn't really listening!

Apparently it's just a re-branding of v-power and an excuse to up the price.

It's the same octane rating as the v power it replaces so nothing to get excited about  :whistle:
