Shell V Power 99 ron

[bigwheel]

I noticed today at my local Shell station that V Power petrol is now rated at 99 ron.

Am I mistaken or did it used to be 97 ron?

Will V Power now be an equal or superior to Tesco 99?

High performance fuel designed to improve responsiveness

Shell V-Power contains powerful cleaning technology, developed to help enhance everyday driving performance and responsiveness. These cleaning components are designed to prevent the build up of power-robbing inlet valve deposits and to help remove those which may have been left behind by other fuels.

High performance fuel formulated for enhancing power delivery

Shell V-Power is also a high performance fuel (99 RON) designed to help you get the most out of every drop. Shell V-Power is formulated to reduce friction between the cylinder and piston rings, a critical area of the engine where lubrication is difficult to achieve. It's designed to help the engine turn more freely, and so help transfer energy from the fuel to the wheels more efficiently.

Bp garage in portsmouth does 108 Octane at 1 pump. You have to go into the shop and get the daily pass code before you can use the pump, oh I forgot it costs 2.50 a litre iirc

[SimonV8ster]

Who the hell uses 108 octane ?!

Probably not as it would jus dilute it down.

£2.50 a litre is well a tad expensive! May aswell buy it in a barrel from the specialist suppliers!

I've just put a tank of Shell 99 in the old girl and she doesn't like it for some reason.

I did ask earlier if this was an ethanol blend -Anyone? I can't find any detailed spec on thier web.

[007 VXR]

Ive been running Shell 99 in my car with no problems, LS3......

BTW in an independant review Tesco 99 was proved to give more power........hahahhaa so I have been using that as well, certainly seems to work ok on my car

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I think Gareth said the Ute was spluttering on it a bit. Doesn't seem to like it
Its a bloody fast Ute that is(i know I've said it before but Bloody quick)

I heard Tesco fuels the best so that's what we tend to use. Also its always busy so i know the stocks fresh

I thought that it was only 102 octane? 108 would be something like £10 a litre.
