100 Ron V-Power-let's get it over here.

seems to me the best way to get 100 ron V-power petrol brought into the UK is to tell the people who make it that we want it....

I've sent my e-mail telling them I've stopped using Optimax and started using Tesco 99 Ron.

I'm sure if enough of us do the same then Shell will get the message.

Worth mentioning that with tesco 99 RON, optimax is no longer king?

That's almost exactly what i said. Something along the lines of "everyone i know who regularly used Optimax has switched to Tesco 99"

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing further to your email enquiring whether there are plans to bring 100 RON V-Power to the UK. Shell do not currently have any plans to introduce 100 RON unleaded petrol to the UK market. Shell Optimax was developed for those UK motorists who seek increased performance and protection for their car. In determining which fuels to offer to our customers in any given market we undertake extensive research in order to determine which is the most appropriate portfolio to make available. Markets will vary in many ways and we seek to supply the fuels most appropriate for our customers in each market given current customer needs, emerging customer needs, and manufacturing and logistical capabilities and constraints. With Shell Optimax we feel we have struck the right balance for now in the UK market and we are delighted with the customer response that we have experienced since launch. We do however take on board requests from our customers and do note the interest there is in higher specification fuels, such customer feedback will form part of any future premium fuels initiatives.

Thank you for taking the time to contact Shell.

Kind Regards,

Matthew Wagster

Yep, I got the same reply, they don't say exactly why we can't have the 100 Ron fuel though do they? Flip.
