I bought some and it was clearly advertised as 100 RON.

So its only 1 RON higher than regular V-Power? :S doesn't seem worth the effort on their part :confused:

Edit: NVM saw the bit about CZ.

Just to go off on a tangent back to the fuel pricing my diesel price on my fuel card is 4p/litre cheaper than it was 12 months ago long may it continue

Apparently Shell will be launching a pr campaign for the new V-Power in the UK soon.

No word on the RON yet though.

Could be called "Shell V-Power Racing Plus" so expect it to cost a quid a litre more than normal

"You! Hey YOU! If you liked the placebo of our V-Power fuel you'll love the new and improved placebo of new V-Power RACING+! Now you too can have the running costs of a real racing team!"

SOLD!

It's is launched tomorrow the 18th

It is called V-Power Nitro+

There is Unl and Dv versions.

It is 99Ron and no difference is price v the old Vpower

anyone worried it might not work in the car..... you have had it in your tanks for a little while now already

Back on the original topic, there is still more room in the site margins to drop prices further still.

The new additive targets Direct injection deposits apparently.

Is it not just the new 10% ethanol mix? Thought I heard vpower was switching to E10... I might be confuzzed though.

How does it even get to the intake valve crap? Does the egr system let enough through?

Yes for the Diesel, for petrol is contains 25% more friction modifiers.
Check Shell website tomorrow it will all be online and all over the radio/billboards.

Does anyone know for definite if either tesco momentum or shell vpower contain ethanol?
