Shell V-Power Nitro+

[deadmau5]

I've just had an email from Shell telling me this fuel is now available. I think it's the latest version of V-Power. Has anyone tried it yet?

100RON?!? Wow! I seem to recall BP used to/still sell a 102RON and it was about £2.50 a litre.

I've just had an email too. Only problem with that is it has my number of shell points and therefore the amount of money I've spent with them...

How many points? I currently have 1556.

2496 here with the email. Ahhhh!

You must do some miles!

My last 10k has averaged 26mpg and I do 17k a year!

You would expect if the RON had increased they would be publicising it. The main points on their website:

Protecting Cylinder Walls – Our Friction Modification Technology is designed to instantly reduce friction between the piston assembly and cylinder wall by coating them with a protective film.

Cleaner Intake Valves and Fuel Injectors – Designed to prevent and clean up deposits that can affect performance. Shell V-Power Nitro+ contains special additives to help stop performance-robbing deposits from building up around the intake valves and fuel injectors.

In comparison to our previous Shell V-Power Unleaded, we have rebalanced the formulation to contain 25% more Friction Modification Technology (FMT). This technology has been tested with Ferrari as part of our long standing technical partnership, and is designed to instantly reduce friction in critical engine areas and thereby help the engine to deliver more power to the wheels.
