Shell to re-launch V-Power imminently

Not quite. Fuel suppliers must have a target percentage of their overall energy supply for biofuels/renewables, so some offset this in other ways. Last I checked BP Ultimate is ethanol free, except in the South West. Unlike other fuels, which use alcohols to raise octane, BP Ultimate is refined solely from oil to petrol at 98 RON (sold as 97 RON by the time it hits the pumps). That's supposedly one of the reasons it's more expensive than other brands.

Other than that fuels do all contain 5% ethanol/biodiesel.

BP ultimate here, the last time I went there, was 1p cheaper than their normal unleaded lol
 
My S4 fuel cap claims it'll take 91 RON fuel as a minimum, but recommends 95. I've run both T99 and VP but the only difference I really hear is the exhaust popping a bit more. If anything I'm convinced I get worse economy with higher octane fuel, but then that might be because my right foot likes the extra noise.
 
I was surprised to see that vpower in Czech is 95ron.

Was odd considering there are plenty of other brands selling 100ron.
